California Thrasher

Toxostoma redivivum

Least Concern

The California Thrasher is a mimid songbird that forages for insects, fruit, and berries in scrub, woodland, or open country, often with strong vocal mimicry or varied song in coastal California and Baja California. It is generally resident or locally nomadic, using suitable cover and food patches year-round. Fun fact: this batch includes remarkable specialists, from mimic-rich thrashers to brood-parasitic whydahs and nectar-feeding sugarbirds.
