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!
