About These Birds
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.
Austral Thrush
The Austral Thrush is a medium-sized thrush found in forests, gardens, and open country in Chile, Argentina, and the Falkland Islands. Weighing about 100.1g with a wingspan of 27cm, it has brown upperparts, a spotted or streaked breast, and an orange-yellow bill. It feeds on earthworms, insects, berries, and fruit on the ground and in trees.
