Sooty Grouse (1)

Chris

Date taken: May 28 2021

Evening trip to Cypress Mountain was a good idea - have not seen this species since 1988, which was the only other sighting (Grouse Mountain), and at the time known as the Blue Grouse.

Winter weather is always unpredictable. With only a few minutes before sunset, a fog bank cleared and allowed some golden light through. Boundary Bay, BC.

BrianMorin: Great late day light. We haven't had any visitors this winter because there's a good mountain-ash crop in the North.
Chris: Got lucky with the cloud / sunset this time.

Long-billed Thrasher (1)

Toxostoma longirostre

United States (Texas)

Date taken: Mar 18 2022

A bit of an awkward photo. I was completely caught off guard seeing a Thrasher on a suet feeder - let alone a species I've never photographed. This was the only photo I managed in focus. Bentsen-Rio Grande.

Details: winter plummage

The lighting was not great at Iona today, but I rarely see this species so was happy to get any photo record at all. The pair then took off and kept flying towards Vancouver Island.
