Crissal Thrasher
Toxostoma crissale

Has a more severely curved bill than a Curved-billed or Bendire's Thrasher.
Also has a reddish brown patch under tail. Since this bird is a very shy bird
you never see the reddish patch under its tail.
This is not a come out in the open areas to feed bird. It normally hunts its food under brush.
Map and range not to any scale.
**********************************
You know, I could have sworn I had a nest of chicks around here some where.
Well, I guess I will just have to keep looking for it.
***************************************************
Oh, I do believe I see it up there. I knew if I looked long
enough I would surly find it. Like how could a mother bird ever forget where she built her nest?
***************************************
See there I told you I had a nest here right close,
and here it is.
***********************
Well let's see which one I should feed next.
*************************
Mmmm good.

A very good way to identify me is my chestnut undertail coverts.

And then there is that undesireable job of nest duties.
Parent bird removing a fecal sac.
A small sac containg fecal material voided by nestlings,
chiefly among the songbirds, which is disposed of away from the nest by the parents.
