Hello CObirders

                After endless snow it warmed up a bit today here near Storm Mountain. And more birds showed up! Just before noon a flight of White pelicans flew over fast heading west. Then a little after noon I spotted a Yard Bird first Brown creeper followed soon by a thrush. I’m not sure which thrush it is so if anyone can help me i.d. this I will be able to add another bird to my Yard List. Here’s three photos showing side, front and back views: Thank you  - Dave Hyde/nr. Storm Mtn., Larimer Cty.

This looks like a Sage Thrasher to me.

You guys are awesome! I’m studying all these thrushes; it looks a bit like this one, a bit like that one, and a bit like a third. It never occurred to me the bird was a thrasher! I’d thought that thrashers were more southerly birds, but the CO Breeding Birds Atlas has them nesting in my area. Its been since last July that I added a new Yard Bird here and now, on this day, I add two more and a 2nd spot of some Pelicans! I love Colorado bird-watching, you never know what will show up! Thanks and color me happy 😊 – Dave Hyde/nr. Storm Mtn, Larimer Cty.

PS. And not only that, I just realized the Sage thrasher is a new Lifer for me 😃

Hi Dave!

Like everybody has pointed out, this is a Sage Thrasher. Although Sage Thrashers definitely look similar to catharus thrushes, this bird is a Thrasher, not a Thrush.

The birds are happy, and so am I
