Thrush Mugs

These days a lot of little birds leave their nests, I saw and heard this fledgling in our garden this afternoon and could venture near enough to take his picture. (Nikon D5200; lens: AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm)

This is the third sighting I have had of this lovely but elusive songbird in the yard, but this is the only time I have seen it out in the open, perfectly and calmly posed on the pyracantha coccinea (Scarlet Firethorn), whose reddish-orange berries are a big hit with the usual repertoire of wintering birds in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The warm yellow background--courtesy of the leaves of the neighbor's weeping alder--adds a golden, autumn-y touch to this image! This photo was featured in the 2018 Wild Birds Unlimited Calendar, the 2018 Nature Canada Calendar, the 2020 Canadian Geographic Photo Club Calendar, and the 2021 Canadian Geographic 365-page-a-day Calendar.

Swainson's Thrush by Debra Martz I captured this little one just as I was getting ready to leave/complete my day of bird watching. It was a late Spring migrant passing through Port Aransas, Texas. ©Debra Martz 20190514-DSC_0970

The Turdus grayi is a brown bird that lives from southern Texas to Colombia, it is the national bird of Costa Rica.

Song thrush & English yew 🌾 I think it’s fascinating that so many plants associated with the holidays have a dark streak, like the incredibly toxic yew. All parts of the yew, except for the fleshy red aril that surrounds the seed cone, contain multiple toxic compounds including taxine alkaloids, which require urgent medical care if ingested. However, some animals are able to tolerate the toxicity. Many thrushes feed happily on the arils and seeds, which they then distribute! I think relationships between deadly plants and resistant flaura are so amazing

Getting into the Christmas spirit with this watercolour painting. I always enjoy painting birds because they allow for a lot of texture and brush experimentation, this one focusing on colour bleeding and a paint puddle kind of technique. Seasonal card variations of this design will be available over Christmas, so be sure to check the print store for these.

This design features the Hermit Thrush and is from my collection Wings.

This is my original artwork of a female eastern bluebird is perched on a fence post in a farmland field at dusk during the winter months. The blue bird is a member of the thrush family and feeds by dropping to the ground to eat insects, as well as eating tree bearing fruit.

This is my original artwork of a male eastern bluebird perching in a blossoming peach tree.

It's always a wonderful moment when the subject seeks out the photographer instead of the other way around!

I have always thought why is a Mistle Thrush called Mistle Thrush... It just so happens that the reason is because the latin name for 'Mistle Thrush' is Turdus viscivorus, of which 'viscivorus' ~ means devourer of mistletoe! In Europe, mistletoe berries are an important food source for them but in the UK it seems ~ they prefer holly and hawthorn berries.

Canon Rebel T3i. The American Robin is a large, sturdy songbird with long legs, a light yellowish bill, and a long tail. It has an unstreaked, rusty-orange breast and a dark gray-brown back. White spots surrounding the eye look like a broken eye-ring. Males and females are similar in appearance, although females are less brightly colored. Robins are one of our first visual signs from the animal kingdom that the return of warmth is on its way after a long winter haul. The robin a promise of new beginnings with the new cycle of spring in our midst, it carries symbolic meanings of cheer, joviality and light-heartedness. Raleigh, North Carolina USA.

Varied Thrush, one of the backyard birds of the PNW.

This is my acrylic painting of the Vermont state bird and flower, the hermit thrush and red clover. Vermont was admitted to the union on March 4, 1791 as the 14th state. Red clover is grown by dairy farmers who use the purple flowers as grazing food for their cattle. I added a four-leaf clover in this scene for good luck and love. This painting is part of my state bird and flower collection.

American Robins have gray upper-parts and the familiar reddish breast, varying from pale rust to a dark brick red. Male and females look nearly identical. The females colors are less vibrant. Thank you for looking at my Photography!!! Cynthia

Crowned Thrush Natural history of vintage birds of North America

The White-rumped Shama Thrush is a very common Bird in Hawai'i. Native to Malaysia it was introduced to O'ahu in the 1940s.

I love to grow flowers and see the birds fluttering through the trees and the ginger stalks and this combination of bird and flower reminded me of a few unusual interactions I have had with these curious, intelligent birds. I wanted this painting to capture the happiness of a sunny day and the fearless personality of a shama.
