Thanks Tom and Rieko!
Beautiful.
Congratulations on a lifer! Good luck with the Varied Thrush, they're great looking birds, and rare visitors up my way too.
Thanks Tom, Emily, and Hemma! It was a lifer for me Tom! We actually went to this guys house to find a rare Varied Thrush that has been here for a few weeks (rare for Texas), and as soon as we got there this guy came in and scared off all the little birds! Trying again for the thrush in a few days :)
not the same tree as the porcupine !
Beautiful shot Ashley!
Ashley, nice spotting on the Sharpie today!
