The Long-billed Thrasher is indigenous to the Rio Grande Valley and a small portion of northeastern Mexico. This bird prefers to live in dense foliage and has a song that is a series of melodious phrases repeated two or three times. It gets its name from its energetic thrashing of leaves to find insects. It can be identified by a long downwardly curved beak, orange-yellow eyes, grayish-brown head, off-white belly with brown streaks throughout, long brown tail, and is about 11.5 inches long fully grown. These birds are commonly found at Laguna Seca Ranch.
