#BirdOfTheDay is #GoldenSun -- any bird in warm, golden sunshine. This #BrownThrasher seems to be leaping forward to state it qualifies! Catching some golden hour light does that for a captivating bird like this one!

Today’s #BirdoftheDay theme is #BrownBirds, and the alt is #FightingFeathers. This throwdown at the feeder has both! I call it “come at me, bro!” #BrownThrasher #Grackle #Birds

A Grackle on a yard hook, and a Brown Thrasher flying with wings spread, lock eyes over a sure feeder. Shit’s about to get real here!

The #BrownThrasher is one bird I am always happy to see! It's bold eye, chest patterning, and rich color just draw me in!

A a medium wide shot of Northern Cardinal and Brown Thrasher on a Western Soapberry tree (I think.) The birds are largely obscured by fruit stems and branches.

Birds in the homemade bird bath today. They are so cute and they were getting along it appears. If I identified them correctly, they are a Northern Mockingbird and Brown Thrasher #birds

Popping up for just a quick peep. #birdphotography #birdsofmassachusetts

A thrasher perches at the top of a shrub, facing the camera and looking left. The yellow eyes are piercing, as are the bold brown spots on its breast.

Pink Blossoms and Feathers

The brown thrasher (Toxostoma rufum) is a hunter forager, an omnivore. This one visited me one morning, the first that I'd ...

In this image a brown thrasher perches on a diagonal branch of a crepe myrtle tree facing to the lefty, the bird's left side is visible to the camera. there is a slightly out of focus bunch of crepe myrtle blossoms it the lower left corner of the frame that obscures part of the bird's lower body. There is another portion of pink blossoms entering the frame on the lower right side. Two additional gray-green branches rise through the frame behind the bird. Beyond that, in the background, is forest green from out-of-focus trees.

The thrasher has a medium length black beak that is curved on top and straight on the bottom. Its eyes are pale green. The feathers on its backside and long tail are cinnamon brown. Its front side is pale tan with black spots. Strong grayish legs reach down to gray feet and talons griping the branch.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BirdsWithBerries. This #BrownThrasher was spitting up...something that looked berry-like?
