Brown Thrashers,
Toxostoma rufum, are widespread across the eastern half of the United States and may venture into southern Canada. They are in the same family as the Mockingbirds, and can sing a wide variety of musical notes.

They are most often seen on the ground searching for insects, their primary food. They also eat seeds and berries. You may be able to attract them by placing feeders on or near the ground.
Have a great day!
