The California Thrasher is found only in California and Baja California. It 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. Therefore, while it is common throughout much of its range, it is rarely seen.
This is my first time to take a shot of this rare and shy bird.
