This curve-billed thrasher was one of two on the neighbor’s ocotillo plant that I videoed in the following clip. — kenne
Chlorophyll captures hard radiation
My plumage explodes forth with colors bright
Transmutes into my dream’s pigmentation
In proud defiance of sun’s bleaching light
My plumage explodes forth with colors bright
I sprout a thousand flames rose tangerine
In proud defiance of sun’s bleaching light
Brush bold orange on the baked desert scene
