Field Notes
Description:
Size & Shape
Brown Thrashers are fairly large, slender songbirds with long proportions—the legs are long and sturdy, and the bill is long and slightly downcurved. The tail is long, too, and often cocked upward in the manner of wrens.
Color Pattern
Brown Thrashers are foxy brown birds with heavy, dark streaking on their whitish underparts. The face is gray-brown and the wings show two black-and-white wingbars. They have bright-yellow eyes.
Habitat:
Back yard.
Habitat
Scrubby fields, dense regenerating woods, and forest edges are the primary habitats of Brown Thrashers. They rarely venture far from thick undergrowth into which they can easily retreat.
Notes:
Another new spotting for me. Just looked up and saw this beauty land on my back fence. Thank goodness it sat long enough for me to grab my camera.
