Dagua Thrush

Turdus daguae

The Dagua Thrush (Turdus daguae) is a medium-sized thrush species found in the cloud forests of the Andes in western Colombia. It has a distinctive olive-brown plumage with a pale belly and a dark eye mask. This species is known for its melodious and flute-like song, often heard echoing through the misty mountain forests. Dagua Thrushes forage for insects, fruits, and berries in the dense undergrowth, using their sharp beaks to extract food from foliage. They are typically found in high-altitude montane forests and are known for their shy and elusive nature, making them a sought-after sighting for birdwatchers.
