A little titmouse grabs some corn.
Hubby and I noticed this bird last week among the brown leaves. I had told him I had seen a brown bird and didn't know what it was. I was surpised when he told me he had seen it under our oak tree. Hubby isn't a bird watcher but has taken an interest in what I photograph. We only saw it a couple of days and it was by itself. In researching it I think it's a brown thrasher. If you know for sure please correct me if I'm wrong. I have never seen one before at my feeders.

Two sweet little birds. I don't know enough about the second one to identify it, so will be interested in what people say. Wishing you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving Carletta.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures, Carletta. By its markings I too think its a Brown Thrasher.

Very nice, and its always great to get a new bird to the garden, well done
ReplyDeleteDefinitely looks like a Brown Thrasher to me!
ReplyDeleteand you caught a the SWEET face of Tufted Titmouse
The little Titmouse is so cute. I'm not familiar with the other bird. But always fun to see the different birds.
ReplyDeletei used to see the thrashers in wis. really pretty birds. love your titmouse shot!
ReplyDeleteIt very well might be a brown thrasher. Looks like it to me.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it's a Brown Thrasher; great post.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have titmice here so it's great to see a good photo.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't say for sure if this is a thrasher but it looks like one.
My hubby and I have just this past year started enjoying watching birds. I told him this was a sure sign that we are officially old, because I remember when my own parents started bird watching after they retired. Maybe that's it....we just have more time now to enjoy nature.
ReplyDeleteThat little titmouse is so cute! Great catch. Ditto on the brown thrasher.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Carletta!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteNice to have a new bird at your feeder and the little titmouse with the corn is so cute!
ReplyDeleteCool shots...and sounds like you have a lifebird. Indeed the Brown Thrasher:) Cool finds!
ReplyDeleteGreat birds, Carletta. The Titmosue is cute and the Brown Thrasher is a cool bird. Have a great day and a Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI don't know the brown bird but the titmouse is one of my favorites. Yesterday we had two right at our kitchen window either fighting or playing. I never did figure it out.
ReplyDeleteThe titmouse photo is awesome, Carletta! Those little suckers don't sit still long as you know. I like it! Haven't seen a thrasher in a long time.
ReplyDeleteGot the little birds to pose again huh? :) Those are really, really nice shots.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot of the titmouse and brown thrasher...and I do think it is one. The only thing I can think of that comes close is a wood thrush and their tail is shorter for one thing.
ReplyDeleteHi there - great shots - I would have gone with Brown Trasher as well - but birds of the USA are not my strong point!!
ReplyDeleteCheers and thanks for linking to WBW - Stewart M - Melbourne
Great shot on the titmouse, we also have them here in Sweden. The other one I'm not so familair with.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Pia
Great captures, Carletta and well done on another bird to add to your list!! I'm always so excited to discover lifers!
ReplyDeleteCute little Titmouse. I agree that your second bird looks like a Brown Thrasher.
ReplyDeleteVery nice images! Your Brown Thrasher is a wonderful bird to have around as they eat a LOT of bugs!
ReplyDeleteA new bird, how fun! We had thrashers in a tree outside our RV once when we were in Arizona...it looks sort of like I remember, but its been a long time now. The titmouse is adorable -- I've never seen one of those for real.
ReplyDeleteI love your little birds! We don't have either here, so it is a treat to see them! Wonderful captures! xx
ReplyDeleteNo, no, no. They're all wrong.
ReplyDeleteThe first bird is a Dwarf Bluejay. They're very rare. The giveaway is that they look exactly like a Tufted Titmouse, except those have been extinct since 1974.
The second is not a bird, but an oak leaf that is camouflaged as a bird to keep the leaf predators away. Yes, it's very convincing, isn't it? That's the brilliance of it all!
Happy Thanksgiving, Carletta!
I love the titmouse photo!!!
