A Clay-colored Thrush photographed at the Laguna Seca Ranch in deep South Texas on 7 December 2024.  Z9, 600 pf, 1/200 sec, iso 800.  

Clay-colored Thrush are somewhat rare to the U.S., appearing only in South Texas in the last few years, but appearing more and more often.  It looks like their range is spreading a bit northward.  They are usually a ground dwelling bird, so it's always nice to get them on a perch.

Good species to get there and a nice pose, perch and berries  Gene, are your monitors correctly colour calibrated?  Sorry, if this has been asked before, but the colours are way off in this image.  I have photographed this species many times, and basically it is far too yellow.

An excellent image with the pose and setting recorded here, Gene. Always nice to photograph a rarer species, in your region.

Great find, composition, eye contact and complementing background colors, Gene. There seem to be several species whose range is expanding north.

I wondered how it could be called "clay-colored" too. Maybe bright sunlight. A fine shot anyway.
