Guide to North American Birds
Family Thrushes
This shy forest thrush lives in tropical mountains as far north as northern Mexico. Exceptionally harsh winter weather may sometimes drive it into the lowlands; a few times during such conditions, single individuals have been found in extreme southern Texas. Formerly called White-throated Robin.
