Brown Thrasher

I tried numerous times to capture a photo of this thrasher in the springtime, but it was too elusive. Who would have guessed that in the fall — the silent season, when the bird isn’t calling attention to itself — it would pose for me?

Thank you, Friend Thrasher.

Also saw some kinglets…

…an ovenbird…

and, across the street, some suburban deer.

This one begs for a word bubble…
