 by Jim Bailey |
||||
| Nesting, feeding, characteristic behaviors: |
Nests in a shrub or in a conifer at a height of 4-20 (0-40) feet, in a cup
nest. This species is a rare cowbird host. During the breeding season, this
species is an omnivore: ground and lower-canopy
forager. |
||||
| Habitat: | Breeds in Utah in mountain riparian
and aspen habitats. |
||||
| How to find: |
Fairly common in moist, mixed woods. Best places to find this species in
Utah County are the following: South Fork of Provo Canyon, trail up to
Stewart Falls in the North Fork of Provo Canyon, and the lower part of
Diamond Fork Canyon. Become familiar with its beautiful, flutelike rising
song to help in locating this species. Seems to prefer wetter habitat than
the Hermit Thrush.
