Brown Thrasher
by Janet Heintz
Brown Thrasher, young. Found this bird at the edge of my orchard. There were a couple of them, although the other ones stayed hidden in the thicket. This one kept popping out to look at me.

1 commentsI like the young thrasher's pose, it looks like it is deciding whether to take flight or not, or perhaps like it spies some thing tasty to eat outside of the frame.
The light looks a bit contrasty to me, I think some of that could be toned down while processing.
This species doesn't present itself out in the open like this very often in my experience, so kudos for getting out clear of branches & leaves.
