Awesome! That's so cool!! Also interesting that our only thrasher is not one of yours!

Brown Thrasher, right? We get them very rarely, mostly in winter, but they're not resident. I'm still trying to see a LeConte's Thrasher--like every time I drive to CA through Yuma! Some day!

Thanks Dawn! My list is posted on eBird! Enjoy--some amazing birds like Yellow Grosbeak, Elegant Trogon, and Flame-colored Tanager!

Love those photos! I didn't realize there were so many thrashers! I enjoy seeing a Brown Thrasher in my back yard on occasion.

Yes, the one thrasher we don't see here very often. Glad you are enjoying the Big Yard with me!
