The Curve-billed Thrasher was so common to me in when I lived in Arizona that I took them for granted. Seeing their grumpy faces while they scratched around in the dirt was like seeing old friends.

What a fantastic bird. You got him very well. Well done!
ReplyDelete@Chris, thanks! I used to enjoy them in my AZ backyard, but now its extra special to see a Curve-billed Thrasher.
ReplyDeleteGreat close-up photos of the Thrasher. We seldom appreciate the birds that are common right around us.
ReplyDeleteCoool! We saw some of these guys in Big Bend in December. Also saw two Crissals! nice shots of this guy!
ReplyDeleteAwesome shots of the Curve-billed Thrasher Robert! That portrait shot is excellent. He doesn't look quite so grumpy in that one ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe don't get this type of bird in my area. He does look a little grumpy!
ReplyDeleteWell done! Now I haven't seen one of those in a long time! Ha!
