Curve-billed Thrasher // Toxostoma curvirostre // Score: 11 // Rarity: 3 (Rare) // Conservation Status: Least Concern // eBird Sightings: 434,665 // eBird Photos: 15,131 // Continental Spread: 5 // Zooms: 2 // Story: After I broke down in Alpine I was able to get a ton of computer work done (minting/planning posts and such). After I got caught up, I went for a walk and hit up a couple galleries. One of the galleries was owned by a family. The daughter and I were both bird nerds and artists. We also both graduated from CCU with a degree in Exercise and Sport Science. She sent me a DM on IG of a nice park in town that had a lot of birds. I immediately went. Over the course of a few days I was able to knock 6 species off the list, and I saw another 5 lifers. These thrashers were inside a batting cage. 5/14/22, 7:18 PM
