Re sen, J.V. 1973 Brown Thrasher Toxostoma rufum Dec. 1 7 Tamalpais Rd, Fairfax, Marin Co., Calif : I was seen coming to feed on seeds at the home of Morton Wilson where it has returned to winter for three years in a row now. It was a beautiful orange-rusty bird with much grayness around a yellow eye - it should really be named Orange Thrasher or at least Rufous Thrasher - "Brown" is a misnomer
