[mou-net] Brown Thrasher-Sherburne

Happy to report that as of Friday 2/7/14 my overwintering Brown Thrasher is alive and well. I've been putting out meal worms and throwing some suet on the ground for him. He is a daily visitor to our feeders. Maybe just positive thinking at work, but his injured wing appears to be improving.
