More Bird Photos from Fluvanna, TX



Hermit Thrush
This was my first ever sighting.
According to the experts, these are not uncommon,
but as they are very secretive, they can be very difficult to find.
As you can see, he (or she) is hiding beneath the leaves,
and then after a little patience, came into the open very briefly

Thank God for Four-Wheel Drive
I didn't take a picture of us when we got stuck in approximately 30" of snow. Wasn't interested in photos at the time. Only thinking about that hike back into town for help. With Tim's help we dug it out.


Meanwhile....
It was cold sitting in that blind!

SAGE THRASHER
(My 1st sighting ever)






CURVE BILLED THRASHER


 NOTE: I found the Sage Thrasher and the Curve Billed Thrasher
in the same brush pile, at the same time.
I thought that was a bit unusual
