Quite similar to the related Veery, these acted more like robins, hopping around on the lawn. Photo
White-throated Robin (Turdus assimilis)
3/27/04 - Panama Audubon cabin near Bambito, Chiriqui. Singing away. We saw only a small number of White-throateds in the highlands. The most common
Turdus in Panama is Clay-colored Robin, which is common as dirt and, well, looks like dirt, too (hence the name). The dawn chorus of Clay-colored Robins in Panama City made us feel right at home, since their song is similar to that of the American Robin.
