A mountain thrush in the rain, perched on a branch with flowers.

Mountain Thrush

San Gerardo de Dota

The plain gray mountain thrush is a tropical cousin to our American robin, though as the name suggests, you won't find it at low altitudes. It prefers to stay up high in the cloud forest, where rainy days are frequent but cold temperatures on the order of North America's are all but unheard of. Mountain thrushes and their rather muted colors lend themselves to overcast, moody light, so when a friend and I focused on this branch with flowers in the hope that something —anything, really— might decide to perch on it, the falling rain and the species that came along were a perfect match.
