Red-legged Thrush

 

The Red-legged Thrush is a ground-dwelling species that occurs in a wide variety of habitats from brush and gardens to dense woods. Appearance is highly variable across its range but throughout is unique in its blue-tinged gray plumage combined with bright orange-red legs and eyering.

The Red-legged Thrush feeds on ground insects and fruits on trees.

Although it is a very common bird to observe almost anywhere on Cuba and is a regular on most ebird checklists I still find it an attractive bird in the early morning light.
