Awesome photo of a seldom seen (in these parts anyway) subject complete with a bug in the bill. I wish I had stuck around

Nice clear view of the thrasher. Although the background is busy it doesn't really distract from the thrasher. I'd consider toning down the bright spot on the branch above the thrasher's head.

Really like the evening light Michael - it has a real pinkish tinge to it.

cheers

Nice detail, excellent pose. Nice catch with the insect in the beak. I like the colors a lot.

Great job in what appears to be strong light and the bug is a real plus, way to go.
