Ready for another lighthearted limerick? This one will feature my state bird, the Brown Thrasher. I’ve had the rhyme floating around in my head, but needed him to show up and pose for a few shots before I could post it!
The Thrasher in rich shades of brown
has a dirt coated beak curving down.
Though his gold gleaming glare
gives a sinister air
He’s really a lovable clown!
I had to borrow the last photo from my summer pictures,
but the rest were taken this past week.
And now, as they say in Looney Tunes – eeba da beeba da beeba da…that’s all folks!

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful bird, which you showcased so well Kathy!
Thanks! These fellows are fun to watch!
Beautiful! 🙂
Thanks!
Gorgeous pictures. I always thought Brown Thrashers were what robins would look like if they did more cardio.
Okay…that was an awesome comment. Thrashers definitely are rather buff birds!
Yeah, they’re not as squeezable or cute but they do look like they could kick a Blue Jay’s ass. Almost.
Because I mean, come on. Blue Jays.
I can’t stop looking at the photo of him shaking the water off! Perfect!!
They are some of the best bathers to watch!
Amazing shots to go along that limerick!
Thanks. I always love when these birds show up. 🙂
LOL the best part is your last line! hehe! Thank you Kathy, for more stunning photos!
The original last line had something to do with him “wearing a perpetual frown” but it seemed to paint the poor guy in a bad light, so I changed it!
I meant the looney tunes line hehe – made me laugh 💜
Cracking bath shot! 🙂
They are exuberant bathers!
They have such beautiful eyes, and you captured them well! Awesome limerick, great bath shot, “excuse me, I am trying to bathe!” 😉
Their eyes can be so expressive!
What a spectacular bird that you have described with your words! (And photos) 😍
WOW WOW WOW I Love Birds!
