...first Brown Thrasher in years. It would be good (for photos) to find the nest; the thrashers are energetic nest-builders

Happy birthday Alan! Very productive... I'm sure with all these birds you really got a good time! My favorites are
Happy Birthday Alan! With all these birds I'm sure you had a great time! My favorite is (not because the others are bad!!!) the series with the Greater White-throat! Especially the second photo where you got it perfectly (I like the posture, others may like other photos and that are just a personal opinions/differences!)!

Today I got only that Red-billed Leiothrix. The "needles" of the Australian Iron tree sometimes are doing interesting background but the branches are able to destroy any photo...

A male Indigo Bunting (transitioning into breeding plumage)
...due to operator error (ISO was at 400 from earlier in the day; I only had one chance for this image and in fact missed out on a much brighter blue bird), the time of exposure for this exact shot is 1/30s.
...image acquired during the grilling hour for dinner; overcast day so conditions were far from perfect for a pristeen image (one that pops!) such as the crop of a nice image of an American Robin below.
But I like the shot of the Indigo Bunting above...if nothing else to show the capabilities of Canon's gear...in the hands [literally] of an enthusiast of modest skill.
Handheld @ 800. Exposure time 1/30s.
My oh my.

A few shots since the holidays. R5 MK II w/RF600 f/4L IS with and without the 1.4x
A Gray Catbird after taking a drink.
One of the two juvenile Brown Thrasher's skulking around in the later afternoon light.
Having a zoom or at least a selectable TC lens might have helpful when this male Pileated Woodpecker stopped by.
First time I've seen a Green Heron just fly into the water but apparently it worked.
Posing Green Heron.
Leucistic female Wood Duck checking out a potential nesting cavity. She later had thirteen ducklings but now down to four.
And a Gadwall Drake letting me get his good side.
