I have been so happy that Brown Thrashers called our yard home this year. They stalk through the underbrush in the side yard and sneak about under the Little Bluestem kicking up the mulch.
They produced at least one youngin', and I hope they do it again next year.
This one was so brazen, he or she didn't care one bit that I was standing in the yard.
There was even a stare-down.
For those of you who know birds...anyone think he sort of looks like a minature
American Bittern?

What an awesome picture, and yes, I can see the resembelence!
The stare down is priceless. That bird may have a future in politics.
I wonder what he's thinking....."Whatchoo' lookin' at, lady?"
Sweet Brown Thrasher photo - I can never get one to pose for me. They are either high in the tippy-top of a tree, or messin' around on the ground, hidden in the leaves and underbrush.
HEY! I recognize that Bittern!! Give him back to me!!
Love the facial expression. I think you'll be paying him royalties for years to come.
Wonderful photo of the Brown Thrasher. It does bear a resemblance to the Bittern. LOL!
I got 'em, too. Love that bird. Great shots, Susan.
I love it when a bird stares me down--it's like we swap souls for a second or two.
