We report on a J and H photometric variability survey of 10 T dwarfs. Four brown dwarfs in the sample show significant J band variability at the 99% confidence level or higher. The amplitude of variation ranges from 2 to 17%. Our data show evidence of variability for late as well as early T dwarfs.
