Gmorning crazy birders !! 😉
THIS Sage Thrasher reminds me of a few late-season birds I had in CO and NM 1995-2013…
Sage Thrasher in Dec
Green-tailed Towhee in Dec
Bullock’s Oriole on rabbitbrush covered with snow, Dec
Rufous and Black-chinned hummingbirds *failing* at level flight when snow was falling in Albuquerque…. they kept drifting downward to the ground with the gently falling snowflakes, actually quite funny to watch this, like they needed a software update for this situation ???
I’ve had other late sightings I’m sure, but these are most memorable
