A Couple of Desert Birds

[Tom in Arizona]

Hi All...

A Curved-billed Thrasher and an Abert's Towhee I photographed over that past few days. Comments and suggestions welcome.

Thanks
Tom

Bothe great, but that second is a classic. Great perch, pose and background.

I like the thrasher on the cactus in the first image. A good reminder of how agile birds can be when interacting with cacti. Both nice images.

Both are really great Tom. I also really like the second one. Perfect limited DOF and the pose with the twisted head is so cool.

Excellent detail on both the bird and the cactus perches!

Great shots, the first is my favorite for the cactus view - both sharp (in every sense of the word) foreground, and full plant background.
