Spotted
The Sage Thrasher is a medium-sized, pale gray-brown thrasher of western North America, recognized by its heavily streaked underparts, relatively short bill, and yellow eyes. It has a unique affinity for sagebrush habitats.
Where to spot
Breeds in the sagebrush-dominated arid and semi-arid regions of western North America. Winters in the southwestern US and Mexico.
How to spot
Its pale gray-brown overall color, heavy streaking on the breast and flanks, and relatively short bill are key. Look for it in sagebrush plains. Listen for its long, complex, and highly musical song.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Best observed during spring and summer in breeding grounds, or winter in its migratory range.

This thrasher is critically dependent on sagebrush ecosystems, where it nests in the shrubs and forages for insects and berries among the plants.
