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.
Alpine Thrush
The Alpine Thrush is a large thrush weighing nearly 94 g with a 27.7 cm wingspan, found in high-altitude forests and scrub across Asia. It forages on the ground for invertebrates, berries, and fallen fruit.
