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.
