Caught this young Curve-billed Thrasher in our garden this morning perched on the Cholla Cactus that is his home. Early morning about 60 mins after sunrise.

Uncle Gus, This is the right department. I must say it is a pleasure to have you stop by and grace us all with one of your beautiful bird images. Love the effect on the BG! The Cholla Cactus makes this special!!!;) Beautiful details BTW!!
What a wonderful presentation. Got to love this image. It says so much and is very well balanced.

Hey Gus, Nice capture that is sharp and well lit. The streaks in the backround compliment the image. I might have moved the white border out a bit farther from the bird...
