I really like Brown Thrashers. They are relatively scarce around our area, but I have found a nesting pair that provide regular photo ops. I call them a nesting pair because a) the two of them have been in the same area for several days now, and b) I watched them gather nesting material and fly into the same spot in the underbrush. Thus, I surmise they are building a nest.
Here is one of them gathering materials.
This one has just snapped up a nice insect for breakfast.
The pair.
Such a handsome bird!
Next up is the orange or yellow or peach variant of the House Finch. Some references show all the red being replaced with yellow; this little guy is somewhere between red and yellow.
I love the coloration on this oddball!
Finally, Willets around here are plentiful and noisy. And they can become annoying, chasing each other around and making a racket while establishing and protecting territory. Still, I love this pose, and he is complaining to me that I am disturbing his morning vigil.
