Bendire's
Thrasher Range Map
The Bendire's Thrasher breeds in southeastern
California, southern Nevada, southern Utah,
western New Mexico and Sonora. It winters from
central-southern Arizona to Sinaloa. The
Bendire's Thrasher inhabits open desert habitats,
especially areas with tall vegetation, cholla
cactus, creosote bush and yucca. It may also
inhabit pinyon-juniper-sage communities, but
tends to avoid large areas of continuous, dense
brushy cover and grasslands.
