On Thursday, March 5, 2009, we took the Lake Hodges and Kit Carson Park Trip (San Diego Bird Festival). This was a good birding trip, and we got to see some interesting species, the California Thrasher being one of them. The California Thrasher (Toxostoma redivivum) is a large thrasher that is found mainly in chaparral habitat in California and Baja California. It is similar to the Crissal and Le Conte's Thrashers in habit. The California Thrasher is the only species of Toxostoma throughout most of its limited range. Like most thrashers, it rarely flies in the open, preferring to keep hidden in dense brush and is, therefore, rarely seen. This thrasher species is the largest species in the family Mimidae. It is generally brown, with buffy underparts and undertail (unlike the Crissal). It has a dark cheek pattern and eye-line, and unlike most thrashers, has dark eyes. It was a cool, partly cloudy morning with temperatures in the mid-60's.
