Old Curved Bill

Here are a few photos of a Curved-Bill Thrasher that seems to love scouting the territory from the front trellis here at COC, to see, I guess, what it can root around in.

Thrashers use their sharp, curved bill to dig feverishly in the dirt in search of grub--literally and figuratively. They're quite comical in their efforts, leaving fairly large-sized holes behind them.
