Curve-billed Thrasher

The same section of the Breeding Bird Atlas block where I found the Northern Mockingbird and the Red-tailed Hawk nesting on the small ledge on the cliffs also produced this Curve-billed Thrasher. Junipers dot the landscape below the cliffs, intersperced with grassland and cactus (mostly cholla) with scrub oak thickets on the western part.
The Curve-billed Thrashers nest in tree chollas.
