Sage and Curve-billed Thrashers in Canon City

[SeEttaM .]

I found a Sage Thrasher which is fairly uncommon for the Canon City area in some 4-winged Saltbrush/cholla cactus habitat on the north side of town  where I often find our resident Curve-billed Thrashers.  I watched the Sage Thrasher perch on top of the shrub and flick it's wings while it got a nice shower in the rain. The Sage Thrasher was presumably stopping over during migration as I refound it the yesterday.  I also found 2 Curve-billed Thrashers not far away.  I got good photos of both species that I have uploaded to my Birds and Nature blog.
