Comments on: Early Brown Thrasher http://www.chat-happens.com/bird-chat/early-brown-thrasher/ Well at least we hope it does Tue, 02 Dec 2008 00:51:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0 by: Chad http://www.chat-happens.com/bird-chat/early-brown-thrasher/#comment-53957 Tue, 04 Mar 2008 20:40:57 +0000 http://www.chat-happens.com/bird-chat/early-brown-thrasher/#comment-53957 I'm not sure if anyone is still following this thread or not. At any rate, the thrasher continues to be observed in the yard, which is somewhat surprising. With all the rain coming today and melting snow, one would guess there would be more leaf litter and ground exposed to give the thrasher ample opportunities to forage. Well, for most of the afternoon it continues to eat spilled Black Oil Sunflower seed underneath the feeder. Nothing like a free lunch I guess. The fact that the thrasher remains in the area still leads me to believe that it is the same individual that either nested at my neighbors property, or is the mate of that bird. Time will tell...

It was observed feeding around the foundation of the house today, as well as underneath my platform feeder. It was gobbling up sunflower seeds at a very fast pace. Let's see if it sticks around for a while. Nancy,
