White-throated Bushtit

Aegithalos niveogularis

The White-throated Bushtit is a small, active bird found in the mountainous regions of central and eastern Asia. It is known for its distinctive white throat and black cap, with a brownish-grey body. These sociable birds are often found in mixed-species flocks, foraging for insects and small invertebrates in scrubland and forest edges. They build intricate, hanging nests using moss and lichen, and are known for their acrobatic flight patterns. The White-throated Bushtit is not currently considered to be at risk, but habitat loss and degradation may pose future threats to its populations.

Habitat: Mountainous regions, scrubland, forest edges
