Back‑Wing Scratch

This isn’t the image I intended to post today. I was planning to share a photo of a brown thrasher (Toxostoma rufum), just not this one. I accidentally grabbed it and moved it into my working directory, then figured, what the hay — so here we are.

Thrasher in the Tangle

This Brown Thrasher was perched near the top of an oak tree at the forest’s edge. There were two of them. I couldn’t help but wonder—was it the same pair that nested in the bush just outside our front door one summer? Maybe. They have a way of returning without announcement.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

Hidden Singer

This morning, a Brown Thrasher (Toxostoma rufum) made an appearance, slipping through the brush with its usual quiet confidence.

Watchful Thrasher

Charlie and I spent an hour or so sitting in the backyard this morning. Before that, I filled up the bird feeders. Interestingly, the pigeons mobbed my old post feeder before I moved on. Apparently, they've decided I'm not a threat, though they still maintain a healthy and wise respect for Charlie, scattering when he came near.

While watching, listening, and contemplating life, a brown thrasher (Toxostoma rufum) appeared—the first I've seen this year. Brown thrashers belong to the Mimidae family, along with mockingbirds and catbirds. I've yet to photograph a catbird, though they always seem to be around, unseen.

My photo gallery features over 1300 carefully selected images. While most are chosen for their visual appeal, a few stand out as novelty shots. Feel free to explore my gallery at:
