Wood Thrush


Brown Thrasher 1
Originally uploaded by paynehollow

The Wood Thrush is a robin-sized bird with brownish, sparrow-like plumage. Except more brilliant and distinct. I spotted this one down by the bridge in August, interrupting his lunch, it appears.


As it turns out, the wood thrush looks a great deal like a Brown Thrasher (which I had originally identified this as), but the brown thrasher has a yellow "ring" around his eye that this bird is obviously missing.

Sneaky birds!
