The brown thrasher is quite common throughout the US. The female and the male look alike and they both incubate the eggs in the nest. Obviously a family affair!
Habitat –
They prefer the woodlands and like to hang around thickets and are not as likely to come near residences, although I have often found them in my backyard.
Migration –
These birds only migrate short distances, usually to get out of the cold. Some don't migrate at all.
Diet –
Rather than frequenting the bird feeder, the brown thrasher is a ground feeder and scavenges through the leaves at ground level looking for insects, seeds, and nuts.
Behavior –
these birds are quite aggressive and will protect their nest voraciously.
