POTD: Foothills Thrasher
by Bruce • January 25, 2025 • POTD • 0 Comments
The Lobo basketball team played a nationally-televised game this afternoon at one, and knowing I would watch it at my sister’s, I decided I would get a decent walk in before the game in the Sandia Foothills Open Space. Not far from the Michael Emery trailhead parking, I found myself before two curved-bill thrashers dedicated to something related to a cactus close to the trail. Carrying the requisite camera, it was nice to have an opportunity to get a few portraits of one of them before I pushed on with my hike.
