wild rose – Feathered Photography

Sage Thrasher Throwing Up Multiple Fruit Pits

This series of photos may be just a little too timely for anyone who partied too hearty last night on New Year’s Eve… 🙂

Three Bird Species On The Same Natural Perch At Different Times

Chipping Sparrow, Sage Thrasher and Northern Mockingbird. And it’s an attractive perch too so at first glance one might assume these photos had been set up. They weren’t.

White-crowned Sparrow And Fall Colors Of Wild Rose

Finding birds has been tough lately and yesterday was about as discouraging as it gets.

Juvenile And Adult Sage Thrashers

And some very good news about migrating Rough-legged Hawks, especially for local photographers and birders.

White-crowned Sparrow Playing Hide And Seek With A Harrier

Sage Thrasher Regurgitating A Sumac Pit
