One footed on needles - Black-throated Sparrow
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Borrego Springs, CA
Black-throated Sparrow was a lifer for me. It was awesome to see this beautiful lone adult at the State Park. As much as it seemed to be very capable of nimbly hopping from cactus to cactus, it was amusing to see it perching on them one footed, as if to minimize the chances of being pricked by one of their sharp needles.
