Texan Curve-Billed Thrashers
Toxostoma curvirostre
The Curve-Billed Thrasher is resident throughout its range, which includes most of Mexico, parts of Southern Arizona and New Mexico, and Texas. The Whit-Wheet calls of these birds is easily heard at distance and announce their presence well before they are seen. Western birds and eastern birds differ somewhat in appearance, with the Texas (eastern) group having a lighter breast with more contrasting spots.
This gallery is limited to the birds I met in Texas this spring (2020). For a view of all 32 birds in the species gallery, click <HERE>.

Description: Curve-Billed Thrashers wandered through most of the camp at Breeze Lake. The camp where I spent April in Brownsville, Texas has a "Reseca" or Oxbow lake on its border, several feeder stations, with tall trees and grassy areas. This bird enjoyed the sunflower seeds offered in camp. |

Description: This was the first bird to meet me on this morning. Because of the working well and wind pump at the site of the old Sam Nail Ranch homestead in Big Bend, it is a great place to meet a variety of birds. |
