The Thrashing Machine (Toxostoma rufum)

Well folks, as you will guess, we are home (boo hoo) from our trip to the US to see my kids and grandkids. We had a great time, and really enjoyed the whole time we were there. Spoilt the little uns, as often and as much as was allowed. I got to see around 40 species of the birds over there, without going anywhere out of our way. I will be posting a few shots when I can, but I have loads to go through, and sort out, so be patient. I also have a lot of stuff to do around the house, so will catch up with you all later. Thanks to you all for your kind words, and the "Welcome backs" etc, really appreciated. This Brown Thrasher is a bird that I really enjoyed seeing, and was one of my fave US birds, so expect a few shots of this species. I'm sure I put this in the Birds of North America, but looks like its kicked back in the birds of GB, sorry Mods.
