Gray thrasher

The gray thrasher (Toxostoma cinereum) is a medium-sized passerine bird belonging to the family Mimidae.

[3] The gray thrasher is found only in Mexico's Baja California, where its range extends from approximately north latitude 31°14' to its southern tip.

There is a record of this species in the Famosa Slough, San Diego County, California.

The species' nest is a cup made of twigs and lined with finer materials such as grass.

The gray thrasher's song is "a loud, fairly scratchy warbling...repeated two or three times"', and often sung from a high open perch.

Its calls include "a rolled, rippling to rough whirr-rr-rr or chirr-rri-rrit, and a gruff chrek".
