The Curve-billed Thrasher is a medium-sized North American thrasher, characterized by its dull gray-brown plumage, faint streaking on the breast, and a prominent, strongly decurved bill. Its calls are distinctive.
Where to spot
Widespread in the southwestern United States and Mexico, inhabiting arid and semi-arid scrublands, desert washes, and areas with thorny vegetation like mesquite and cacti.
How to spot
Its overall gray-brown color, the faint streaking, and especially the long, strongly curved bill are key. Listen for its loud, whistling 'whit-wheet' calls, often given from prominent perches.
When to spot
Easily observed throughout the day. Resident and active year-round.

This thrasher's long, curved bill is perfectly adapted for probing into cacti, dense brush, and rocky crevices to extract insects and other invertebrates.
