Here is the Bird in my Tree ~ Brown Thrasher

Tweet

Many of you have asked about the bird eggs I posted, and the "what is this" photo showing a thrasher bird in my spruce tree. I cannot seem to get a photo of the bird, he/she is too quick for me. So I found this photo online to show you what he/she looks like. See the yellow eye, this is what I see when I try to look at the nest now. So I will leave her alone for now. Especially after reading this about thrashers... An aggressive defender of its nest, the Brown Thrasher is known to strike people and dogs hard enough to draw blood. Brown Thrashers may come to backyards if food is offered. Sometimes they visit feeders or the ground below to pick up fallen seed. There is a better chance they will visit if dense cover is close by. This one has chosen my miniature spruce tree in the front to build the nest. In a few days they will be hatching. We will see if I get a chicane to see the babies.
