I "thought' I was taking a picture of a Wood Thrush, and realized later this was a Brown Thrasher. I believe we have both as we are certain we hear the melodious singing of the thrush in the evenings. Both of these pictures were taken through the living room window.
The most noticeable difference is the thrasher has two white stipes on its wings, as clearly seen in both these pictures. Considered a 'secretive' bird, this one was perhaps the exception. They like to nest in thorny bushes, so we believe they are nesting in one of our hawthorn bushes.
