About These Birds

Black-eared Ground-thrush

The Black-eared Ground-thrush is a secretive forest thrush with warm olive-brown upperparts, a boldly spotted white underside, and a distinctive black ear patch. It is found in lowland and montane rainforests of west-central Africa, particularly Cameroon and surrounding regions. It forages quietly on the forest floor, turning leaf litter to find invertebrates, earthworms, and small fruits.

Abyssinian Thrush

The Abyssinian Thrush weighs about 68g and is resident in highland forests of East Africa. It forages on the ground for earthworms and invertebrates in forest clearings.
