Spotted
The Long-billed Thrasher is a medium-sized thrasher from the southern US and Mexico, characterized by its warm brown upperparts, streaked underparts, and, as its name suggests, a remarkably long, decurved bill.
Where to spot
Found in southern Texas, USA, and northeastern Mexico, inhabiting dense thornscrub, mesquite woodlands, and riparian thickets.
How to spot
Its warm brown plumage, heavily streaked breast, and very long, curved bill are key identifiers. Listen for its loud, varied, and often melodious song, which includes repeated phrases.
When to spot
Active throughout the day. Resident and observable year-round.

This species often uses its exceptionally long bill to sweep through leaf litter and soil, uncovering insects and other food items.
