Hello CObirders! I was birding my neighborhood patch along the Poudre this morning, when I heard a Brown Thrasher singing. I looked all over for the Thrasher, but alas, all I could see were some Common Grackles and European Starlings. About five minutes later, I realized that one Starling on a high perch was actually the bird that was singing! Here's my theory: there *was *a Brown Thrasher yesterday morning that was very active and singing. Perhaps the local Starlings learned the song, and are now either using it to be more attractive to prospective mates or even possibly to play a practical joke on me. (Ok, maybe not so much the second part.) Anyways, with all these reports of Brown Thrasher coming into Colorado, I only put out a cautionary word that a heard only Brown Thrasher *may* be a mimicking Starling. Have fun with the migrants this week! *The birds are happy, and so am I* *~Caleb Alons, Larimer County*
