[TN-Bird] Brown thrasher nice thrill

Good Afternoon,
Here in the Charlotte Park area of West Nashville, birding has been a bit 
unique again today.
 
This morning, a lovely brown thrasher flew into one of my hackberry trees "on 
its way to somewhere" toward the southeast.  It MAY be the first brown 
thrasher I have ever had here, but I cannot check.  I still have not found my 
yard 
list chart which had been on my kitchen wall before the HASMAT team sanitized 
my house after my illness in 2006-07.
 
Also, when the peanut butter was gone from its place outside, my Carolina 
wren took action by flying up to the French door where it clung to a small 
"pane-frame" and pecked at the glass.  When I went out with more PB, it went 
right 
for it.  I guess it "took lessons" from the mockingbirds who come to the door 
all the time to beg when the PB has run out.
 
SIX Eurasian-collared doves are hanging around today.  At least one pair have 
completed their mating rituals several times during the past two days.  I 
think I have one pair, one adult loner and three offspring.  I had three adults 
for a long time after a fourth disappeared, then all of a sudden, three more 
birds appeared which I took to be POSSIBLE products of a nesting.  I am only 
speculating, however.  With all the romancing that has been going on, I sort of 
anticipate more later this summer.  They sure do scarf down the bird seed, and 
are here from early until about 5 PM daily.
 
Jolly good birding to all.
