The California thrasher is found in the hills with coastal
sage scrub habitat that surround the city of
Santee. The thrasher’s most distinctive characteristic is its curved bill.
At 12 inches long, it’s one of the larger songbirds you’ll
find in Southern California. The thrasher is the Mozart of the bird kingdom. In addition to its musical call, the thrasher has the ability to mimic sounds similar to what mockingbirds do.
The thrasher's diet includes beetles, spiders and other bugs, so they
are great for pest control. They rarely fly in the open, preferring instead to remain hidden in dense brush.
