The Brown Thrasher is the state bird of Georgia and about eleven to twelve inches long. Brown Thrashers are with orange brown upper parts, darker wings with two short white bands. The underside has tiny black arrowhead spots in rows stretching front to back. They also have a long downward curved bill, long twitching tail, and yellow eyes.

Brown Thrashers leave the nest at only 9 to 13 days old, earlier than either of its smaller relatives, the Northern Mockingbird
An aggressive defender of its nest, the Brown Thrasher is known to strike people and dogs hard enough to draw blood.
They are extremely secretive and can sometimes be hard to find in thickets. The thrasher is often heard before it is seen, and has one of the largest song repertoires of any North American bird.
