Hello,
I’m new to this group, thanks to an invitation from my friend Marissa Ortega-Welch. Happy to be here!
I wanted to share that I’ve had an interesting visitor in my backyard the last couple of days. At first I only got fleeting looks as it flew off and I wondered if it was an exceptionally rusty-colored California Towhee (with a long tail).
But this morning I got a good look and some photos and it appears to be a Brown Thrasher. It kept perching above my suet feeder, maybe not sure how to get the suet. Also hopping around on the lawn and pecking in the dirt, then flying into nearby bushes/trees, then off.
You can’t see from the photo, but the eye is yellow.
