If you catch a Brown Thrasher out in the open, it MUST be singing! I did just that and was amazed at his collection of songs! At first I thought I heard a FOY Catbird, but then I spotted him high in a tree singing his little heart out!
I love your shot of the B. Thrasher. I had one in my yard a few days ago scratching and digging in the leaves. He is a beauty that I rarely see....but love it when I do!
..and you caught him so well..with his bill open and singing.. love that golden eye..never knew his tail feathers were so long... Great shot, Hannibal! I was told they only repeat their calls twice b/f moving onto their next version..unlike the mock who repeats things three or four times. I'm always up for those little bits of info..so much to learn..sigh!
I love the windblown look he is showing too.
ReplyDeleteThese guys do make some beautiful music. They haven't arrived back yet in my MN garden.

ReplyDeleteConsidering his size one can expect his song to be loud :-)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful shot, congrats!
