[cobirds] Re: Late Brown Thrasher in Nederland, Boulder County Dave Hyde reports.

I am having some doubts about ID of the thrasher seen in Nederland. Face does look gray and 

I welcome comments on ID of this bird, Brown Thrasher vs Long-billed Thasher.

Thanks, Joe Roller

Unusual for December 7 and at 8,800 ft altitude, a Brown Thrasher was seen well and photographed by Dave Hyde

of Drake, Colorado. 

Lack of streaking on undertail coverts rules out the similar Long-billed Thrasher, a mega-rare winter vagrant* to Colorado.

I am trying to find out if birders are welcome to look for the Brown Thrasher.
