Curve-billed Thrasher

Toxostoma curvirostre (Swainson, 1827)

Curve-billed Thrasher, Toxostoma curvirostre, breeds in North America and Middle America, including south-western USA and Mexico. It is a member of the mimid family and lives mainly in desert regions across most of Mexico and the deserts of the south-western United States. It is also found in places dominated by people. A key feature is its slightly curved bill. It is grey-brown overall and resembles Bendire's Thrasher. It is non-migratory and is often the commonest desert thrasher within much of its range.
