Curve-billed Thrasher

[Glenn Bartley]

Here's a quick post from the south of Texas. I'm still on the road for a few more days (posting this from Burger King) and hope to get a few more of the specialties down here. So far its been quite productive :)

This was the first time I had really used 2 camera bodies in a blind. I had a small perch setup for sparrows and this one for the larger birds. I was glad to have the 2 bodies or else there is no way I would have gotten this.

A very pleasing image full of interest. Excellent BG and great perch............ I like it a lot.

[Steve Ashton]

Superb image. Love the sharpness and the BG work very well for me.

Great pose, perch, details and complementing BG. I wouldn't mind if the part of the perch below the tail were not there.

As per Alex. Was this at a feeder set-up?

later and love, artie

Baiting with BK fries now are we? ;) Very nice to catch him with his mouth open. So, if I'm reading this right, you had both cameras set up but focused on different areas?

Did you use a drip on this? Great perch and BG. The open beak is a bonus. Agree about the bottom part of perch below tail...
