One of my favorite wildlife images, I wouldn't have even known this brown thrasher was in the brush nearby if it hadn't been so vocal. I was able to spot it through a small opening just large enough to get the head and upper body in sharp focus. Captured at Parkville Nature Sanctuary in Parkville, Missouri. Forested area with filtered natural light only.
