Birds

Not sure what these are, its the first time I have seen them. I have not had time to look them up. Probably last pics from AZ, as I have to pack up the computer tonight and ship it up to Fargo.

Hey Charlie, you've got a male gilded flicker in the first image and a Bendire's or a curve-billed thrasher in the second. Those two thrashers can be tough to tell apart. I'm leaning toward curve-billed because of the larger and more curved bill, but it's a bit of a toss up with this view. Got any frontal views of the thrasher?

Good luck with the move!

[explorer]

Thanks Steve. Here is the best frontal view I have.

[Steve Foss]

Yeah, looks like a curve-billed to me. Nice shots, too.

Those are some VERY sharp photos with great color. I hope more people view this thread. Very good work!
