The Sage Thrasher is a sagebrush dependent species during the breeding season and winters in rather dry, brushy and grassy areas in the Southwestern U.S. and Mexico. Its rather rambling song is beautiful. Unfortunately this species has experienced approximately a 50% population decline as sagebrush habitat has been degraded or entirely converted to other usages. It's reported that it's been largely extirpated from Canada and its range is constricting in the U.S. It continues to enjoy a strong population in the Intermountain West where large tracts of sagebrush remain.

"This smallest of the thrashers is a widespread denizen of the West’s vast sagebrush steppe. Sage Thrashers are furtive creatures that hunt for insects beneath a protective sagebrush canopy. In spring the males sing seemingly endless cascades of song from tall perches."
An uncommon visitor to southern Ontario, this western based Sage Thrasher stayed deep in the cover and only popped out briefly. It was feeding on the rosehips tangled among the brush and undergrowth. A treat to enjoy this lifer find.

Salvia yangii (Russian Sage, previously known as Perovskia atriplicifolia) is a flowering perennial plant in the mint family, native to western Asia and eastern Europe.
It's a pretty herb and one that has medicinal purposes. Its essential oil is also used in perfumes and as a flavouring for vermouths, wines and liqueurs. Clary sage also attracts pollinators such as hummingbirds and butterflies so I'd say this is is an all-around winner.
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're very much appreciated. Have a great weekend!
