I've no idea what your birds may have been, but our thrushes do migrate. We have Robins in the spring and summer and they go south for the winter. When they are gone the Varied Thrush migrates down from the mountains to winter in the lowlands. I always know that spring is here when I see my first Robin Red Breast!
Can you describe your birds a bit more specifically?
