Morning view

We hadn't seen any Brown thrashers (Toxostoma rufum) since the fledglings in May. Southwest MO is on the edge of their 'breeding' and 'year round' range. This is one of two that used the pond's stream for a bath. The two also seemed to jocky for the prime position. Their eyes are not as yellow so I wonder if these are juveniles.
