Long-billed Thrasher

Toxostoma longirostre

Classification

Class
Aves
Family
Mimidae

The long-billed thrasher (Toxostoma longirostre) is a medium-sized resident songbird of South Texas and eastern Mexico. It bears a strong resemblance to its close relative the brown thrasher in appearance, calls, and various other behaviors; however, the two species do not overlap in range except in the winter when the brown thrasher will temporarily reside in the northern range of the long-billed. The bird is a large sized mimid that is not especially wary, but it will take precautionary measures to prevent itself from being potential prey.
