Long-billed thrasher        Images © Mark A. Chappell

In the US, long-billed thrashers are primarily found in south Texas.   I photographed the one at upper left in fresh spring vegetation on a ranch near Roma, in the lower Rio Grande Valley.   The other images were made nearby, but in winter when things were not so green.
