7. Curve-billed Thrasher (palmeri Group)

   Number observed:  1

   Details

   Bird was heard calling in private property immediately to the west of the Grand Staircase Inn for 5 minutes until I had to leave. The bird was giving the distinctive wit-weet of western Curve-billed Thrashers but stayed hidden the whole time. Calls were separate and not the part of larger phrases, ruling out Northern Mockingbird. The exact location of the bird was: 37.569028, -112.055772.
   
   The spectrogram matches Curve-billed Thrasher as seen below with lower down-curved first not and rising second note.
