Thrashers are close relatives of the Mockingbird and the Curved-billed Thrasher is the most common of the family in the Sonoran Desert of Southern Arizona. This specimen was flying free on the grounds of the Desert Museum in Tucson. It was singing and calling loudly from it’s ocatillo perch, so it was hard to miss 🙂
