A good day today

My sister-in-law visited the oasis today and right away discovered a Brown Thrasher. I hadn't seen that species here since the spring of 2006, so that was exciting. It was above 70° too, which I loved.


While I was waiting for the thrasher to come into the open for a clear shot, I photographed a Texas Antelope Squirrel AGAIN. But they're so cute I can't resist.


Lesser Goldfinches are here year-round so I seldom bother to photograph them.

    Thanks, AC. Do you have them every year? I'm wondering if this year is unusual. I hope I get them more often in the future.
