White-winged Doves ~ These are the most common doves in Las Cruces, New Mexico, where I visited this month. They have beautiful red eyes, circled in blue.
~ This Las Cruces, New Mexico thrasher was found singing in the tree-top, wooing his lady love. He wooed me too, as I followed him, camera in hand.
Crissal Thrasher ~ This thrasher was sitting in the top of a small tree, singing his heart out. He was in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and is a bird I seldom get to see. I was very happy he let me creep up on him and snap pics about every 2 or 3 steps, getting closer and closer.
