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-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.
