About These Birds
American Robin
The American robin is widely regarded as a harbinger of spring across North America. Despite its name, it is a true thrush unrelated to the European robin. American robins produce two to three broods per year and are among the earliest birds to sing in the morning chorus.
Andean Solitaire
The Andean Solitaire is a melodious thrush with a 16.8 cm wingspan, weighing around 28 grams. It inhabits cloud forests along the Andes, where its rich, flute-like song resonates through the understory. It feeds on small fruits and insects gleaned from vegetation.
