Seems Thrashers just chill- as a species, they have high site fidelity. So much so, their DNA analysis mirror California geologic events and how, as a species, these birds reacted to pressures such as glaciation, an ancient connection of the Central Valley to the Pacific Ocean, the rise of the Transverse Mountains, etc.
