Brown Thrasher

This guy was singing his heart out this morning during our walk. Actually, there were two of them - dueling brown thrashers! - but this one was better positioned for a relatively clear shot. If I hear them before I see them, at first I think it's a mockingbird - but then I realize it sounds like a drunk mockingbird which means it's a brown thrasher. Plus a mockingbird repeats each individual phrase three times, while a thrasher does it only twice.

Out with the ladies tonight for dinner, so blipping early.
