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-faced Solitaire
The Black-faced Solitaire is a medium-sized, thrush-like bird with slate-gray plumage, a bold black face, and a bright orange bill and feet. It inhabits humid cloud forests of Costa Rica and western Panama, typically at elevations from 1,200 to 2,600 meters. It feeds on fruits, berries, and insects, and is renowned for its beautiful, flute-like song that resonates through the mountain fog.
