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-headed Nightingale-thrush
The Black-headed Nightingale-thrush is a medium-sized, secretive thrush with a black head, gray body, and bright orange bill and eye ring. It inhabits humid montane forests from Mexico through Guatemala and Honduras to Nicaragua, typically at elevations from 1,000 to 2,500 meters. It forages on the forest floor and in low undergrowth for fruits, berries, and invertebrates, producing a beautiful, melodious song.
