The coloring looks like a Curve-Billed Thrashers; but the bill is smaller and almost completely straight. Also, the eye color seems more yellow; whereas most of the Curve-Billed Thrashers I've seen have more of a yellow-orange eyes. I'm wondering, is this a Curve-Billed that just had it's bill forget to curve? Or, have I just found a third type of thrasher? Jane |
