About These Birds
Bicknell's Thrush
Bicknell's Thrush is a vulnerable, secretive thrush that breeds in dense montane spruce-fir forests in the northeastern United States and adjacent Canada. It has brown upperparts, spotted buff-white underparts, and a faint yellowish base to the lower mandible. It winters in the Caribbean, particularly Hispaniola, where it is threatened by habitat loss at both ends of its migration.
African Thrush
The African Thrush is a widespread, medium-sized thrush weighing about 60 g with a wingspan near 22 cm. It inhabits forests, gardens, and wooded areas across sub-Saharan Africa, foraging on the ground for earthworms, fruits, and insects while delivering a rich, melodious song.
