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.
Black-hooded Thrush
The Black-hooded Thrush is a medium-sized thrush with a black head and upper breast, olive-brown back, and rufous-buff flanks and belly. It inhabits humid montane forests of the northern Andes in Colombia and Venezuela, foraging at elevations from 1,000 to 2,500 meters. It feeds on fruits, earthworms, and insects, foraging on the forest floor and in the lower canopy.
