At 10 am on July 7-2017, Keith Walker found and photographed a Curve-billed Thrasher in his yard, close to the west of Francois Lake which is south west of Burns Lake. He watched the bird for 30mins as it was dive bombed by swallows.
The bird was not relocated on July 8th. If it is seen again, it will be open to the public and I will post his address here.
This is not the first rare bird on his property, he has also had an Oriental Greenfinch before.
This is the first record of a Curve-billed Thrasher for the province of British Columbia.

Awesome migration by this bird from the desert of Arizona or Mexico! I will follow this story!
ReplyDeleteYes Larry, it is truly incredible!
DeleteAny side profile shots? Would be good to nail down which race. Yet another CMF from Francois Lake!!! What a place.
ReplyDeleteHi Russ unfortunately not. I only have one more shot and its face on. Cheers
DeleteLooks to be the nominate Eastern Species though.
