Time to Hunt
This thrasher is hunting for just about anything. Here is a list of their diet: Its diet includes invertebrates such as beetles, moths, butterflies, arachnids, and snails. It also eats vegetable matter, and fruits from cacti, prickly pear, hackberries, and anacua, among other plants. The curve-billed has also been spotted eating dog food, and will feed it to their chicks.
It is also known to target the nest of Cactus Wrens most likely due to it being a its chief rival for similar foods. Here is a link to one of my cactus wren images: 
The curve-billed thrasher is a medium-sized mimid that is a member of the genus "Toxostoma", native to the southwestern United States and much of Mexico. Referred to as the default desert bird, it is a non-migratory species.
