The cottonwood tree is really struggling to stay alive. I don't see it surviving much longer without some good rains this year. It's so water needy that it would save a lot of water if it died. However, birds love it. Always great photo ops in it. The oasis sure wouldn't be the same without it. Just today I photographed this Scott's Oriole in it.

Interesting thrasher photo. Have you ever seen one putting sticks in a nest box before? Odd behavior since they are not cavity nesters. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI know they're not supposed to be cavity nesters but they've been using my nest boxes for as long as I've had them, like 25 years. I have seen them struggle with twigs before, just never got a photo of it.
