Yesterday morning was a beaut. Before I went to my Environmental Stewards Program I caught an early sunrise at Colliers Mills WMA.
All the typical birds were at morning roll call. I had read somewhere that someone had a Brown Thrasher sighting and was wondering where oh where was ours? Where was our First of the Year (FOY) bird.
Catching a note on the wind from where I parked by the Maintenance building, I had hope. By the time I walked to the gate I realized that one of the breeding Brown Thrashers of Colliers Mills was back. And as I walked the front field edges I had a tag along choir. The Brown Thrasher’s (Toxostoma rufum) voice was familiar and a welcoming sound, like an old friend you’ve missed and haven’t seen for ages.
Get out there and go birding!
