The Mimidae family of birds includes the mockingbird, catbird and the brown thrasher. They are known for their song and their mimicking sounds.
Early this month, a brown thrasher dined at my backyard suet feeder and would also forage on the ground. Soon there were two. Then later this month, there were four, two of them obvious fledglings being fed by mom and/or dad. At first, I confused them with the wood thrush but the thrasher’s yellow eyes are a distinctive giveaway. Here are some photos of the brown thrasher family…..
This photo, and the next two, still show some of the downy-like feathers of the fledglings.
Hope you enjoyed!!
Thanks for reading!!
