Congrats on spotting this bird, Sandy! I love the curved bill and the head turn. Well done!

A great picture of a Crissal Thrasher - but would not call this a rare visitor To US - There are lots here in West Texas and New Mexico but they are not easy bird to find or see- so great find

They really have a serious bill, don't they! Lovely shot Sandy.

Mike, they are rare to Arizona - I do see from Sibley's that they are only "uncommon" in Texas, New Mexico and the far SE of California.

Sandy - I guess Arizona does not have the more grassland / scrub type desert we have here - I did not look at range maps or I may have noticed they were rare in Arizona - but off top of head I am kind of surprised they are rare there - always something to learn
