"Cuitlacoche Piquicurvo"...🐦🌵

...is my fav, but other colloquial names for the Curve-billed Thrasher include Brownsville or Palmer's Thrasher, Bow-billed Thrasher, and Cactus Thrasher.

Now you know. 🤘😶‍🌫️ #ThrasherThursday 🪶

Even his crop is borbing...as he made some R2-D2 sound...a Curve-billed Thrasher, a rather round-ish one at that, poses in profile facing the other way from all those pictures of him I already shared. Made you look. Cactus bokeh is an acquired taste, I'm told...ymmv.

THOU glorious mocker of the world! I hear
Thy many voices ringing through the glooms
Of these green solitudes; and all the clear,
Bright joyance of their song enthralls the ear...

We took a hike through the cholla patch today under mostly cloudy skies, but the sun came out for this Northern Mockingbird in profile. Not so much for the female Phainopepla, but I'll take one out of two for a Sunday afternoon...

Great googly moogly, the eyes on a Curve-billed Thrasher, especially when you get them both in frame, are something to behold...this birb has run, literally, run across my back yard (yes, it's all rocks) to stop at the edge of the patio, raise its bill high and look at me inquisitively like "where's the mealworms, bub?" Zen.

the mockingbird had been following the cat
all summer
mocking mocking mocking
teasing and cocksure;
the cat crawled under rockers on porches
tail flashing
and said something angry to the mockingbird
which I didn’t understand.
~Charles Bukowski, The Mockingbird

If you know the rest, you know this composition is the right amount of somber...and almost feels monochrome but is not, as a cocksure Northern Mockingbird perches in profile among just bare branches and bokeh.

My wife is pissed I skipped posting our equally colorful desert hike to Bull Mtn., but I can't escape the feeling my hiking threads are akin to your in-laws making you endure their vacation slides from the Ozarks...

...so I'm just skeeting a bird. 🤘😶‍🌫️

As no Cactus Wrens were available in the Cholla Patch, my pal the Curve-billed Thrasher offered his modeling services on a windy day in the Mojave Desert.

A glaring Curve-billed Thrasher is perched in what I think is a catclaw acacia tree, but I'm no botanist, against a blue sky background. The more I read about them, the more I think about the millions of years of dinosaur-hard-wiring looking back at me when they glare at me like this...Zen birding.
