    Hi Alan, awesome image. Love the berry in its mouth as well as the perch. As always an incredible photo. If anything, could you add to the front and back of the bird? I love the shot but IMO would be nice to have more habitat in the photograph

    The tiny berry in the large thrasher bill puts this one over the top. Another fine image, Alan.

    Alan,

    Another great shot. Of course, the food in the beak adds quite a bit.

    I might consider taking a bit off the left - just enough to remove the oof element.

    You should take a drive over here to ABQ, NM. I can only imagine what you would do with the Curve-billed Thrashers, Black-throated Sparrows, and Cactus Wren.
