Just a short follow-up to Janet's comments about Brown Thrashers being 
varely quiet. My experience with over 25 years of BBS routes under my 
'belt' is that thrashers in general seem to be much quieter than their 
mimid relatives Northern Mockingbird and Gray Catbird. I think I see as 
many as I hear on routes and they are not nearly as vociferous as mockers 
and catbirds.

Cheers,
Kathy
