Are They Sage Thrashers?

Early start
Solo with Wils this morning because Dr. K had an AAUW meeting to attend.

We did our usual hike with all the regular stops; Willow sees to it that I don't carelessly pass by any of her resting places.

Saw quite a few different birds out there today, including five or six Sage Thrashers.  Apologies for posting so many pics of them, but I just starting noticing them recently.

This & next:  hazy views

Last summer hummer?
