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.
Verdin ~ This view of the Verdin shows the red patch on its wing, as well as his yellow head. He is a very flitty bird, and I was glad to capture him at all.
Verdin ~ This cute little desert dweller, the Verdin, has a yellow head and a dark red patch on his wing. He has a quite loud call for such a small bird. Here, he was picking seeds from these seed pods, and hopping up into a bush to eat them. He was in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
