Titel: Bendire's Thrasher; Toxostoma bendirei

Beskrivelse: This bird was seen close to the visitor center in the Red Hills. The ID is kind of difficult and some features looks a bit like a 'Curve-billed' could be a possibility. It seems to be an adult bird with the caracteristic 'arrow-like spots' on the breast - and a generel apperence quite different from the up-loads of my 'Curve-billed'from the same area.. but the bill seems a bit to long and curved to fit a standard Bendire's. Both species are known to breed in the area. All in all in my oppinion it is a Bendire's....
