About These Birds
Wanderdrossel
Die Wanderdrossel gilt in weiten Teilen Nordamerikas als Vorbote des Frühlings. Trotz ihres englischen Namens ist sie eine echte Drossel und mit dem europäischen Rotkehlchen nicht verwandt. Wanderdrosseln ziehen zwei bis drei Bruten pro Jahr auf und gehören zu den ersten Vögeln, die im morgendlichen Vogelchor singen.
Black-billed Nightingale-thrush
The Black-billed Nightingale-thrush is a small, secretive thrush of high-elevation oak and cloud forests in Costa Rica and western Panama, recognized by its dark bill, plain olive-brown upperparts, and washed orange-buff underparts. It inhabits the dense understory of montane forests above 1,500 meters. It feeds on insects, small fruits, and berries, foraging primarily on or near the ground.
