About These Birds

Black-billed Nightingale-thrush

The Black-billed Nightingale-thrush is a small, secretive thrush of high-elevation oak and cloud forests in Costa Rica and western Panama, recognized by its dark bill, plain olive-brown upperparts, and washed orange-buff underparts. It inhabits the dense understory of montane forests above 1,500 meters. It feeds on insects, small fruits, and berries, foraging primarily on or near the ground.

Eastern Bluebird

The eastern bluebird is a beloved symbol of happiness in North America. Once declining due to habitat loss and competition from introduced species, populations recovered dramatically thanks to a massive citizen science nest box campaign. These gentle thrushes form loose winter flocks and huddle together in nest boxes during cold snaps.
