Brown Thrashers

Every year in April for the past few years I`ve had the brown thrashers arrive the week of the 20th of April. They hit my feeder right away . At first there was only one, but over the years he found a mate & I was so happy to have them nesting here in the yard/forest raising babies. I can hear them this year, but far away in the woods & none at the feeder. I am also missing the many catbirds. I have a pair, but that`s it. I don`t know what happened, I blame the snake , but there`s been a pair of hawks nesting at my neighbor`s too. I have not been able to capture photos of them. I don`t believe that they raised any baby hawks this year though.

Great bird shots! Oh, and I forgot to comment on your post awhile back when someone was attacking you about adopting too many animals. I found myself thinking why on earth does he think it's any of his business?? If you want to adopt animals, go for it! It's no one's concern but yours. It's amazing how negative some people can be....

Hello dear! I have some birds that I think are the thrashers-I am going to play the bird sound at the Cornell site to check. They never come to my busy feeder, but I do hear them way up in our trees. I love your photos-such pretty birds...

I'd be very excited if Brown Thrashers visited my feeders!
