They're back

We had a really old azalea bush at the front by the kitchen window which was the nesting area for a pair of brown thrashers for many years.  As it died we decided to pull it up and I figured we would not see the thrashers again.

I was wrong.  They are in the giant azalea in the front yard!   Today I watched them get bugs from the yard and fly back to the bush.  They were really too far away for my 300mm lens but I did want to document that I had seen them again this year.

A good day for bird watching!
