Animalia > Chordata > Aves > Passeriformes > Turdidae > Turdus > Turdus plumbeusTurdus plumbeus (Red-legged Thrush)Synonyms: Mimocichla plumbea The red-legged thrush (Turdus plumbeus) is a species of bird in the family Turdidae. It is found in the Bahamas, Cayman Brac, Cuba, Dominica, the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Puerto Rico. It formerly occurred on the Swan Islands, Honduras. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and heavily degraded former forest. This species may be considered the Caribbean counterpart of the American robin, as it has similar habits, including being a common visitor to gardens and lawns. \n* \n* |
