DUSKY THRUSH

DUSKY THRUSH (Turdus eunomus) – (See images below)
The dusky thrush is a brown and grey bird with a hunting behavior – and diet – similar to that of the American robin, but it is slightly smaller. This bird breeds eastward from central Siberia, and migrates south for the winter. The bird was seen in wooded areas foraging on the ground.
