Media notes
Near an active nest of Curve-billed Thrashers, a 3-way chase turns into a serious chase by two birds as the 3rd disappeared. They were flying all around me, through mesquites, hackberries, elms, in wide circles as one seemed to take great exception to the presence of the other! Background includes: White-winged Dove, House Finch, Verdin, Lucy’s Warbler, N. Cardinal, Blue-throated Mountain-gem, Lesser Goldfinch, Acorn Woodpecker, Band-tailed Pigeon. Recorded with an iPhone 13-mini, using Voice Record Pro 7.
Observation details
One bird is incubating at one nest in a cholla exposed to the sun during part of the day. I watched a long-lasting chase, first involving 3 birds, then 2 persistently, in the area near that cholla nest. One bird was chasing the other round and round through the mesquites, the hackberry, and into the elms. They were giving lots of aggressive calls (recording TBA).
