Of the various forms of wildlife out here in Big Bend, the bird population wins hands-down in sheer numbers -- over 450 species in residence in the park alone, not counting the migrants working their way through in the spring and fall. Here we have one of our local residents, a curved-bill thrasher, attempting to thrash the living daylights out of himself in the mirrored window of the Persimmon Gap Visitor Center. He's not alone in this little endeavor, either, as we'll see in upcoming videos.
