Varied thrush are a local bird species which can be spotted in winter at lower elevations. The rest of the year they live up in our local mountains. Alexander is a regular on local naturalist Al Grass’ bird walk every second Saturday of the month.

Alexander's photos appear in Wild Bird Trust of B.C.’s newsletter, Wingspan, as well as NatureWild Magazine, which is produced in an office at the base of Mount Seymour.
