We saw and heard a lot of Curve-billed Thrashers in SE Arizona this month before we got anything close to a photo opportunity. I was starting to wonder if we would ever find one that was willing to pose but this one gave us satisfaction. I’m sure a photo of it on the ground would be more representative of how I usually see this species but you have to admit, the cactus was a nicer setting.
