No clouds today. Not many birds either. I only saw a single Osprey on the wing. Most other birds were perched either way up in the treetops or deep in the foliage. The lowest level bird that I shot is pictured here – but I am uncertain as to what kind of bird it is. Google is saying it is an Ashy Starling. I was kind of thinking Brown Thrasher but who knows? He’s getting posted because he had a minute to pose. Today’s featured image is a nice Walking Stick Cactus bloom.
