Can you help me identify this bird? He was very upset with Skippy and I walking down the path through his territory. He clucked and flapped. There is probably a nest nearby. Do you think its a brown thrasher or a wood thrush?
That looks very much like our State bird here in Georgia, The Brown Thrasher. There is a movement called "Flip the Birds" trying to change the state bird to the common chicken. Over my dead body. Please welcome the brown thrasher to your state! Blessings from the Garden

My vote is thrasher. The eyebrow, dark beak and long tail all look like a thrasher. The behavior sounds very thrasher-like too.
It's a thrasher. See the two white wing bars? That's how you tell. Great pictures!
