Congrats on the lifer! How many did you get on this trip to Arizona?
I like the simple perch, sweet BG, your composition, and the curve formed by the line from the tip of the tail to the tip of the beak.

Clean and crisp on a great perch, KC....Just what I would expect from you. Great BG and you really get drawn to the eye.

Perfect, KC. Wonderful pose, perch, and bg for the bird's muted colors.

Sweet shot KC. He has that sort of "ready-to-pounce" look I'd expect from something called a thrasher. Great bg and pose...what's not to like? Good perch too - I kinda wouldn't mind seeing more of it.

Good one ! Great frame positioning too . One of my favourite poses- along with back on with a head turn.
Such a variety of birds you have over there.

Not just a lifer...a fine rendition at that. The comp is terrific, love the curved bill and slight curve of the back and then the belly, all offset by the simple plane of the tail.
