May 8, 2022 - Brown Thrasher
I was out birding the other day when I came across a Brown Thrasher. I heard it singing at first. What a beautiful bird! It's a very long slim bird. Rufous above and heavily streaked below. They have a curved bill. Thrashers can be found in thickets and brush.
Bird books say they are common. They are uncommon to me as I can go years without seeing one. I really enjoyed watching this bird!
