Rufous-Bellied Thrush

A common thrush of gardens, parks, and forest edges across much of South America, this bird forages on lawns and leaf litter for invertebrates and fruit, often seen hopping across open ground much like related thrush species elsewhere. Its rich, fluting song is delivered from a prominent perch, especially at dawn and dusk, and is most frequent during the breeding season in the austral spring and summer. It is tolerant of human-modified habitat and can be reliably found in urban parks as well as more natural woodland.
