Eastern Brown Thrasher Banded in Hollywood Hills, California

On January 13, 1939, I trapped and banded a Brown Thrasher (Toxostomu rufum). The bird was subsequently observed daily up to February 28, 1939. It appeared to be here alone. This bird was also seen by Mr. Josiah Keely and Mrs. Mary Barnes Salmon, both of whom are familiar with this species in the East. [The bird is still present on April 17.]

Mr. George Willett advised me that the Brown Thrasher has only been observed once before in southern California when it was seen in Pasadena from December 1, 1932, to March 12, 1933.
