Brown Thrasher - Blog Posts
6. Brown Thrasher (Toxostoma rufum)
The Brown Thrasher is the state bird of Georgia (my home state), so it felt special to photograph them in nature. They're really beautiful actually, there's something about their warm brown feathers in the sunlight that makes me happy. They also have these piercing yellow eyes that really stand out.
If you didn't know, there's a few professional sports teams in Georgia named after birds: the Atlanta Hawks, the Atlanta Falcons, and of course the Atlanta Thrashers. Growing up, I always assumed a Thrasher was an equally large and badass bird of prey.
In reality, they're small and cute and I want to hold them :)
