Description
Aztec Thrush Ridgwayia pinicola (syn. Zoothera pinicola). This bird was glued to this branch for about 30 minutes. I digiscoped this indvidual in Madera Canyon, Arizona, USA on 28 July 2006. These birds stage occasional invasions into the mountain canyons of southeast Arizona. The summer of 2006 was a good year.
