White-eyed Thrush

Turdus leucops

The White-eyed Thrush (Turdus leucops) is a medium-sized songbird found in the forests and woodlands of South America. It is characterized by its distinctive white eye-ring and olive-brown plumage. This thrush is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard during the breeding season. White-eyed Thrushes forage on the forest floor for insects, earthworms, and berries. They are generally shy and elusive, preferring dense vegetation for cover. The species is not currently considered to be globally threatened, but habitat loss and fragmentation pose potential risks to its populations.
