Socorro thrush

Turdus bewsheri

The Socorro thrush (Turdus bewsheri) is a medium-sized songbird endemic to Socorro Island, Mexico. It has a distinctive dark plumage with a contrasting bright orange bill. This thrush is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard in the island's scrubby vegetation. The Socorro thrush is primarily insectivorous, foraging on the ground and in low vegetation. Due to its restricted range and small population, it is vulnerable to habitat loss and introduced predators. Conservation efforts are focused on protecting its remaining habitat and controlling invasive species.
