In addition to their plumage color, Crissal Thrashers can be identified by their pale brown eyes, a unique feature among thrashers

It's #ThrasherThursday! While the Sage Thrasher looks similar to a Bendire’s Thrasher, this little beauty isn’t really a thrasher at all – it’s the only member of the genus Oreoscoptes, and it’s closely related to mockingbirds!

For #ThrasherThursday, we typically appreciate the beauty of the birds themselves, like this LeConte's Thrasher. But today, we'll add the #DesertThrasher Working Group of #PartnersInFlight! At yesterday's meeting, Jim Tietz from @pointblue.bsky.social shared his work on thrashers & #bioacoustics.

#ThrasherThursday These tiny satellite tags are amazing, & allow us to learn so much about how these birds are moving on the landscape!
This Bendire’s Thrasher was one of two we equipped with satellite tags at Avi Kwa Ame Ntl Monument in NV. It will transmit data showing us how it moves around its territory and informing management like buffer sizes. During migration, we’ll see where it goes and when! @greatbasinbirds.bsky.social
