I think Kate Wolf has a song with the words Desert Wind in it...Kate past away in the mid 1980's...She was a friend and a great singer songwriter...Nice image Jane. A memory in aviary format....with your signature method!

Lovly colors of this "Pitacohe" I like the effect of the wind in his feathers. Beautiful blue sky.

Bellissima composizione con l'uccello che domina e il soffio di vento che alza le piume, ottimo POV, molto buona la nitidezza con i bellissimi particolari dell'occhio e del becco, molto belli i colori e il cielo "standard". Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

That's one thrasher up there, looking quite angry is it?
The yellow eye is a treat to see and the ruffled feather telling the conditions around.The blue sky is a great add on into the composition.Good lighting and sharpness too.
TFS & Cheers

Nice detail/DOF, color, and exposure Jane.
Along with your trademark blue sky BG..
Looks like the wind was gusting pretty well, with the birds feathers giving clear evidence :)
Well done,

Hi Jane,
Wonderful shot of this Curve-billed Thrasher perched elegantly up there. Very impressive sharpness and details on its plumage. The green leaves contrast well with the blue sky and the bright sunlight provides superb illumination. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
