California Thrasher
Toxostoma redivivum (Gambel, 1845)
Mimidae — Mockingbirds, Thrashers
California Thrasher, Toxostoma redivivum, is a passerine of the Mimidae family that breeds in California and in north-west Baja California. It is tied mainly to chaparral, though it also uses sagebrush, juniper bushland, riparian and oak woodland with thick undergrowth, and even dense suburban parks and gardens. It is the only Toxostoma in much of its range. A long, downcurved bill and a long tail help identify it, and it is the largest thrasher. It is usually hard to see because it stays close to cover.
