Brown Thrasher Family In My Backyard

A few weeks ago when I'd cut the grass in my backyard, a small family of Brown Thrashers (Toxostoma rufum) showed up to pick through the newly cut grass to hunt for exposed bugs and worms, or in the case of one juvenile, cool off in a small mud puddle.

The Brown Thrasher is the official State Bird of the U.S. State of Georgia and is found year around in that state and the Carolinas.

Here are the photos I took of these lovely feathered visitors around July 10th of this year.
