Sage Thrasher, Adams Co

[Adam Green]

I saw a sage thrasher at the Trail Winds Park at 136th and Holly today. It was flying around in the small trees near the pavilion/restrooms. I walk my dog there nearly every day, but that is the most unexpected bird I have seen there. Oh, except for the Wilson's phalaropes a couple of years ago.

I got a good look at a Sage Thrasher at Harriman Lake Park on Saturday July 19. (Jefferson County).  Similar surroundings to what you have described -- small picnic shelter, grove of cottonwood trees, gravel walking path with frequents passersby (dog walkers, joggers, etc), and nearby weedy fields. Also unusual that day were several small flocks of Chipping Sparrows, and a beautiful Snowy Egret.
