Brown Thrasher

 Today i will be posting about the Brown Thrasher this bird is a very popular bird it a part of a songbird and that i lives in Georgia and the symbol. Sometimes it is mistaking of a wood thrush. the  bird is brown with a touch of red. Female Thrashers lay eggs about 2,6 eggs. The Thrasher eats only insects, Fruit and sometimes nuts.  

 The brown thrasher has a very unqie since of its own like how it look pale legs, bold white wing bar and its yellow eyes i think that it help camfulged its body to not be eaten by the predator so it won't be the prey. the gery catbird is the pedator of thruster and that it eats their eggs if the mother are the farther is not at their nest thier will get the baby and eat them also that the mother should protect the nest. I think that they should put a fight with the catbird. That all i know about the Brown thrasher.

The Black Vulture is entirely black, with a black, featherless head and small, whitish bill.The Black Vulture can measure up to 25 inches in length.They are often found in large numbers at carcasses, or roosting on a conspicuous perch such as a dead tree or electrical tower. Despite their smaller size, they are more aggressive than Turkey Vultures and will drive them away from dead animals. Black Vultures eat carrion dead animals.Black Vultures are found throughout much of the United States, south of New York State.They have recently been extending their range north, and have become so numerous in some areas that they are considered pests. Black Vultures are also found throughout Mexico, Central America, and much of South America.Female Black Vultures lay 2 to 3 eggs in a hollow log or wooded area. They do not build nests. Both parents, who regurgitate food from their crops, feed the young. Black Vultures also regurgitate food when they are approached and, like all vultures, defecate on their legs to keep cool.
