So far, it looks like we have catbirds, cardinals, Carolina wrens, house sparrows, robins, and this lovely brown thrasher nesting in our yard. I’m sure there are many I have not seen yet. I don’t move shrubs or tree branches to get a better look. If I can’t see them from the outside, then I have no business messing with their homes.  I highly recommend taking a moment to listen to the brown thrasher song.

Brown thrashers are just pretty incredible. Not only do they have lovely singing voices, but those eyes are quite mesmerizing. This young one hasn’t yet developed the very bright yellow eyes, but she still has that intense gaze. Click on picture to enlarge.
