Yesterday, January 13, Bob and I went with Linda and Jim to Santa Grutrudis Lane to find the Rufous-backed Robin. We didn't get to see him, but we saw a number of other birds which were feeding at a Pyracantha bush along the lane. A female Northern Cardinal
A Crissal Thrasher, which was a life bird for me!
A male Northern Cardinal
A female Phainopepla
A Sage Thrasher
Cedar Waxwing. Notice the little bit of red on his wingtip , Bob says this is why they are called waxwings, and notice the yellow on the end of his tail! They are very handsome birds.
We saw a number of other birds, but these were the ones I could get close enough to get pictures. We had another great day of birding!
