Hello fellow birdwatchers!
The following post contains photos taken by your favorite blogger of the various Brown Thrashers (Toxostoma rufum) that have been visiting my backyard feeders over the last several months from early May to the end of June.
These gorgeous birds are largely found in the American Southland all year around, but their breeding range takes them across eastern and central parts of the United States and the southern and central parts of Canada east of the Rocky Mountains and central Texas. The Brown Thrasher is the official state bird of the U.S. State of Georgia.
The Brown Thrasher is distinctive by their large yellow eyes and heavy, down-curved bill, which gives them a somewhat severe expression. They are often confused with the Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) which share similar markings, although lacking the Thrasher's distinctive yellow eyes.
This beautiful family of Brown Thrashers have been frequent visitors to my backyard bird feeders.
