Team Thrasher PowerUp

This slightly damp Brown Thrasher had just finished taking a bath in the bog and then headed straight to the PokeBerryBar for an 'after practice pick me up'. The American Pokeweed plant Phytolacca americana is a perennial native to the eastern U.S. It grows up to 8' tall and it's purple almost black berries, although of 'significant toxicity' to humans, are  somewhat of a delicacy to some birds and small animals, at least those that aren't of the 'mammal' persuasion anyway!
Although I've yet to observe Team Thrasher doing much else other than bathing and snacking...they appear to be already Champions at that!
