Description
đź’•I would love for you to view more of my bird photography, in my "Desert Birds-Arizona" Collectionđź’•
We have many Sonoran Desert dwellers, who have made our home, their home. The Sonoran Desert Curve-billed Thrasher (toxostoma curvirostre) is common in our personal desert garden of joy.
The Curve-billed Thrasher that lives in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona and northwestern Mexico looks different than the form that lives in the Chihuahuan Desert of Texas and central Mexico, and they may be separate species.
It is so interesting and amusing, to see them go about their daily routine and antics. Here is one of those moments. Finding food is very messy business, poking its beak down in the dirt, looking for bugs (leaves quite as mess along my walkway). Constantly maintaining the nest with its partner. Singing its sweet little tunes atop of an ocotillo (but no one is listening). It leaped from the ground onto this barrel cactus loaded with cactus fruits. I guess you could say, it is truly enJOYing, "The Fruits Of Its Labor!"
Spring of 2019 is on its way!

Fabulous bird capture with nice details Janet
Janet Marie replied:
Christiane! Thank you for visiting my gallery and sharing your thoughts about my photography. I really appreciate it! Sadly to say this barrel cactus is no more. In fact a curve-billed thrasher in 2020 undermined the root area constantly digging for bugs, that it put it in a dying state. I have had much beautiful captures with this desert plant. Janetđź’•

I read several comments on this including William Tasker’s. I sure miss that wonderful guy!....Fav / like
Janet Marie replied:
I know, wasn't he wonderful. What a lovely man. Sweet, kind, caring, and oh how he loved birds and his Art Group. Very passionate but in a humble way. I too miss him. I just couldn't stay in the group, as it just isn't the same without him. It was his baby and he made it a "oh so feel good," group. Thank you for stopping by and liking this, and choosing it as one of your favorites too! I really appreciate that!

Thank you Reynold for stopping by to Congratulate me for the Homepage Features. I truly appreciate it and also for choosing this as one of your favorites.

Amazing he can balance on that precarious perch! Fabulous capture Janet. Now if he would just learn to clean up after himself! LOL Featured in American Desert Southwest.
Janet Marie replied:
Thank you Jane for the HOMEPAGE FEATURE in your Art Group, "AMERICAN DESERT SOUTHWEST!" I appreciate your lovely expressions about this as always. I am delighted you feel it is a fabulous capture. Not an easy one at that, as they usually are perched high in the ocotillos or on the ground under desert vegetation. So I feel privileged when I can capture it in those special moments. It was a breezy day, and so its feathers are gently blowing, showing how delicate they are. Janet đź’• artBUDette
