This is the second year this pair has nested in my yard and each time they pick the strangest and quite possibly the worst nesting locations. Last year they nested under my kids slide attached to their swing set and this year they nested underneath my utility tractor.

I's a fly!

Quality set Mike. If they had chicks that have fledged then those were not such bad locations, just not the place you and I would chose...

Well, you are certainly making the best of their odd nesting locations, by taking some great images. The first two images are my favorites - really great work on these!

Thanks Morris. Unfortunately last year they had 2 chicks and both were presumably taken by predation. So far all seems good this year.

Hi Mike...

Despite their inconvenient nest location, they've managed to provide you with some excellent posing locations. Great work on your photography.

Thanks
Tom

Wow, not only superb portraits but the Brown Thrasher is a very elusive bird to capture. Good stuff... Mike

Beautiful work on such a wonderful creature.
Any time they visit me they stick to the ground!

Thanks Mike. Every morning I go out and put some live mealworms out for the bluebirds. During the past week I have been stopping by the thrashers nest and putting some out for them as well. Well this morning the adult female actually came over to me and ate some of the out of my hand. So much for being elusive

Impressive! The BT's here stay in thickets and are more shy than male Cardinals... Mike
