Nice variety of birds! Love the California Thrasher the most. 🥰🐦 Looks like or she has partial leucism around the eye(s). Thanks for sharing, Jim! Happy Easter! 🤗❤🐇🐣
Thanks. Happy Easter. I saw a very leucistic C Thrasher in a nearby park, (very strange looking bird) a couple years ago (San Joaquin Marsh). It kind of resembled a cow with its mottled coloring. It ran at high speed like a roadrunner and I never did see it fly. I remember it too looked a bit ragged like the thrasher in the video. It seems to me both of those thrashers reached a relatively old age and they exchanged some of their youthful beauty for old age character.
Thanks Cindy Yeah I really like this park. I was hoping to see a surfbird but I still haven’t seen one. It is one of the few hotspots for them. I was pretty happy to get such a cooperative thrasher and that spotted sandpiper was interesting too.
Great captures of wonderful birds.

I recently visited this park for the first time. I had never seen so many California Thrashers singing at the top of their lungs. Beautiful video!
Thanks Cindy

Yikes! That sandpiper strike is still super fast even when slowed down 10x!!!
