Description
The Curve-Billed Thrasher (Toxostoma curvirostre) is the songbird of the desert. A nonmigratory species of the southwest, it competes with the Northern Mockingbird for the most beautiful voice - most folks cannot tell the difference when listening. It’s shares the same family with the Mockingbird and is also gray. But its bill is much longer and slightly curved - hence its name. This one I caught at sunset perched high on a dead Ironwood tree atop a hill in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona about 50 miles south of Phoenix.
