Description

The ocellated thrasher (Toxostoma ocellatum) is a species of bird in the family Mimidae. It is endemic to the highlands of south-central Mexico, where ts natural habitats are dry scrubland and open oak and pine woodland between 1500 and 3000 m above sea-level. About 30 centimetres (12 in; 0.98 ft) long, its upperparts are brown while the underparts are white with round black spots. The outer tail-feathers have narrow white tips. It has a long musical song with phrases of two or three notes. Like other thrashers, this bird searches for food on the ground, using its long bill to "thrash" through dead leaves or dirt, seeking insects.

Feeding Habits
Ocellated Thrasher primarily feeds on arthropods, various invertebrates, and fruits. This bird employs ground-foraging tactics to hunt for its prey, often displaying unique dietary preferences for certain invertebrates.
Habitat
The ocellated Thrasher is commonly found in arid to semiarid scrublands, with a preference for the brushy understory of oak woodlands. It also inhabits bushy areas within arid and adjacent humid pine-oak forests. The species favors environments that offer a combination of dry scrub and woodland areas, providing necessary shelter and foraging opportunities. While the ocellated Thrasher typically avoids direct overlap with its relative in more arid habitats, it can be found within close proximity, sometimes within a kilometer of each other.
