Long-Billed Thrasher
Toxostoma longirostre
Looking very much like its redder cousin the Brown Thrasher, the browner Long-Billed Thrasher’s range is restricted to southern Texas and northeastern Mexico. Though it is named for its long bill, among thrashers it is not exceptional. The LeConte’s, California, and Crissal Thrashers all have a longer bill length.

Long-Billed Thrasher(Toxostoma longirostre) |
Description: I was unsatisfied with the images I'd collected of this bird on my first two visits, and my mission for my this day was to do better. My third visit to Atascosa NWR in South Texas was intended to pickup images of a couple of the birds I came up short with on my second visit. But then I started meeting new birds and I stayed all day. |
