thrasher

If the Downy was too boring then I have this water action thrasher making his own kind of Bubble Bath.

Today's three posts didn't require going very far to shoot. All three were taken while soaking in my swimming pool in my backyard. First, this lovely brown thrasher - a great bird to have visiting the yard with its diverse song repertoire and great pattern

One of the Baja's endemic species, the Gray Thrasher has become one of my favorite Baja Mexico birds to photograph.

This is certainly one of the most interesting birds from the trip, and an odd-looking one at that!

These two were sharing the feeder at the Hudson Gardens

One from the weekend with the Mali aka the Energizer Bunny. A great time was had by all.

He's just finished eating & getting ready to fly off. Again, another try with my new camera
