The base is 1 inch (2,54 cm)
HMM!

The nestlings keep begging and the parents keep foraging. This one has a few bugs and will soon head down to the nest in long grass on the ground.
Everywhere I look, I seem to find things that capture my attention. Although the vibrant flowers in the garden were enchanting, I found myself unable to quit looking into the eyes of this clay face.

Taken at my friend's ranch near Quesnel, British Columbia, Canada.
A summertime leftover taken before the autumn deluge had begun in September (while it was still officially summer, mind you).
I was sitting down relaxing on the ground last June. The grass was sprinkled with an array of wild flowers in an old clear cut. The area at hand was replete with new growth like willows, hardhack, and young alders. It was there that I found this cautious but curious fellow.
And, I might add...an overabundance of mosquitoes!
Clay-coloured Sparrow
La Ceja, Colombia; Central Andes; 2.300 meters above sea level.
Turdus grayi (Clay-colored Thrush / Mirla parda)
The Clay-colored Thrush’s range just reaches the United States, in southernmost Texas, but elsewhere it ranges south through eastern Mexico and over much of Middle America to northwest South America, in Colombia.
It is the national bird of Costa Rica, where it is well known as the "Yigüirro".
At least nine subspecies are generally recognized, although geographical variation between them is generally rather minor, involving slight differences in overall coloration in most instances.

The Clay-colored Sparrow’s buzzy song is a signature sound of the vast shrublands of the northern prairie and Great Plains. Though they’re not brightly colored, their pale tones and overall clean, crisp markings help set them apart from other sparrows. Their numbers have slowly declined over the past 40 years.

Just an old fashioned gas station - It is a quaint spot just down the road from the John C Campbell Folk Center . The real fun is on Friday night when people gather for mountain music in the back room of the ole general store
Bentonitic clay concretions that measured between 6” and 10” across were found in a layer of the Lower Cretaceous Thermopolis Shale east of the Causeway on US 14A near Kane, Wyoming. Many of them had iron oxide stains. Most of the oxides were distributed in circular bands as seen here. Beneath the weathered surface the concretions are encased in black, organic rich, fissile shale.
