Margarops |
Thrashers are a New World group of passerine birds related to mockingbirds and New World catbirds.
Their common name describes the behaviour of these birds when searching for food on the ground: they use their long bills to "thrash" through dirt or dead leaves. All of these birds eat insects and several species also eat berries.
