Number 8 in my series of bird “portraits” is the brown thrasher. A commenter suggested this would be a good one and they were right! Very happy with how this one came out. 

The brown thrasher is a fun bird to watch. They move quickly on the ground looking for insects. You’ll see that the name thrasher is very apt. The old Atlanta Thrashers NHL team was named for the brown thrasher. 

They’re in this area year-round, but unfortunately their population is declining. 

My original watercolor painting is about 5×7” and I have made prints, notecards, and postcards.
