Sage Thrasher (<i><a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Oreoscoptes_montanus" title="Oreoscoptes montanus">Oreoscoptes montanus</a></i>) Taken on South Tufa, Mono Lake, September 15, 2007. This smallest of the thrashers is perhaps more closely related to the mockingbirds. Note the small straight bill. Probably a juvenile. Morning light and high altitude made from intense icy blue sky. Under-exposed by -0.3. Minimal PS.
