[EBB Sightings] Brown Thrasher

from Sonny Mencher:


For some reason I can't get my message posted on EBB. Posting it here  
since I think the photos are worth sharing. Hopefully, EBB will clear  
me for the future

Brooke Miller and I went to Coyote Hills this noon. no lucjkwith the  
Black Rail - However got great views of Brown Thrasher and many  
photos. Here are a small portion of mine. I expect Brooke will post  
some of her's later.

Location: Entered the Quarry parking lot and looked all around the  
back end and along the paved trail - No Luck. As I continued scouting  
the Poison Oak,  Brooke went back towards the parking lot entrance  
and up the trail to the left. She found the bird doing it's "sand  
bath" about 100 feet up the trail on the right and waved me over. The  
Trasher moved in-out of view on the right crossed the trail a few  
times as it moved down hill then headed towards the hillside - behind  
the first wooden shelter. Moved along the hillside for a while then  
crossed over the parking lot and into the shrubs across the paved  
path. We lost it there

What fantastic views we had.
