Sage thrashers on Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge (36041275932)

Descrission:

Description: Sage thrashers feed primarily on terrestrial insects and arthropods, such as ants, grasshoppers, and ground beetles, which they find on Seedskadee NWR in the sage steppe, where they nest. They will also add berries into their diet when available. By late July, Saskatoon servicerries (Amelanchier alnifolia) are ripening on Seedskadee NWR, and seemingly every sage thrasher in the County shows up to eat them. Photo: Tom Koerner/USFWS.
