Spotted
The Crissal Thrasher is a dark, rufous-brown thrasher of the American Southwest, identified by its long, strongly decurved bill, dark plumage, and a distinctive rufous patch under its tail (crissum).
Where to spot
Found in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, inhabiting dense thornscrub, mesquite bosques, and riparian thickets in arid and semi-arid regions.
How to spot
Its dark rufous-brown plumage, very long and curved bill, and the bright rufous undertail patch are key. Look for it skulking in dense cover. Listen for its rich, melodic song.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Resident and observable year-round.

Like other thrashers, the Crissal Thrasher is a proficient vocal mimic, often incorporating phrases from other bird songs into its own complex and melodious vocalizations.
