Thrasher

This bird is aptly named. They are native birds and they are experts at finding seeds and they trash my garden on a daily basis looking for something to steal. When I hear this sound https://youtu.be/6HsINHl1fJU I know that rocks will be thrown everywhere. But, I can't help but to love a bad ass bird that finds a cactus to be a perfect place to perch.

some birds really get into mischief in gardens, i suppose they dont get the whole idea and see it as a smorgasbord

Love this image, with the bird surrounded with light and bokeh.

I like the bird and the cacti reminds me to Joshua Tree National Park.

I agree about the perch, there is true courage in those little feet.
