There has been a minor irruption in the east with now well over a dozen birds being reported in recent weeks. However, they are notoriously hard to find, even when you know where one hangs out, and because they are primarily nocturnal they usually only show close to or after sunset.

Chris: One of world’s iconic species, and unforgettable. Exceptional capture.
BrianMorin: We had been checking a forest edge for a bird that had been found in the area but it was a no show. We took a short walk in the woods and found it ready to hunt. What a beauty.

A true skulker in heavy undergrowth. Was lucky to get any photo at all. Bentsen-Rio Grande.

Chris: This was one lucky snap as the window closed for good when disappeared into the underbrush.

A bit of an awkward photo. I was completely caught off guard seeing a Thrasher on a suet feeder - let alone a species I've never photographed. This was the only photo I managed in focus. Bentsen-Rio Grande.

Great to see the old friends at Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park. Brief morning walk was so busy with photo opportunities, it was hard to keep up!
