Subject: Bendire's Thrasher (Toxostoma
bendirei)
Place: Phoenix, AZ
Date: January 2000?
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (=600/5.6),
tripod
Film: Kodak E200 shot at 320 with a 1 stop push
Exposure: aperture priority matrix metered, natural light, no fill
flash
Scan: Minolta Dimage
Commentary: Bendire's Thrashers closely resemble the more
common Curve-billed Thrasher, but have
a straighter lower mandible that shows a lighter color at the base.
The breast spotting is also different. We have both species visiting
our backyard.
