Observation details

Continuing in the north wood pile. Initially these two thrashers appeared to have a fight after which the curve billed took the top spot on the highest pile and proceeded to sing. The other thrasher took a position lower down snd would periodically dissappear down into a hole in the pile. At one point it had dissapeared for 10 to 15 minutes leaving the curve billed singing at the top. I played the Bendires call just to compare songs and the suspect bird immediately appeared agan. That bird appears to be the Bendires others have reported. It did not sing. Observed approximately 4 45 to 5 15 P.m. more yellow eye, smaller chest spots (in some photos the spots appear triangular), straighter bill. In addition, the base of the lower mandble appears light gray, the ends of the tail feather are buffy and overall color is mousy brown compared to darker and grayer curve billed.
