About These Birds

American Robin

The American robin is widely regarded as a harbinger of spring across North America. Despite its name, it is a true thrush unrelated to the European robin. American robins produce two to three broods per year and are among the earliest birds to sing in the morning chorus.

Black-breasted Thrush

The Black-breasted Thrush is a medium-sized thrush of South and Southeast Asian forests, with males showing a striking black head, breast, and back contrasting with a bold white belly and orange flanks. It breeds in the Himalayan foothills and mountains of India, Myanmar, southern China, and northern Indochina, descending to lower elevations in winter. It feeds on fruits, berries, and invertebrates in forest undergrowth.
