August 18, 2019 - Grey-winged Blackbird (Turdus boulboul)

These thrushes are found in the Himalayas, southern China, and parts of Southeast Asia. They feed on insects, their larvae, snails, slugs, earthworms, and fruits, foraging mostly in trees but sometimes on the ground. Breeding between March and August, they build cup-shaped nests from grasses, leaves, moss, lichen, and other materials, sometimes lined with mud. Females incubate the eggs alone, but both parents care for the chicks.

The grey-winged blackbird (Turdus boulboul) is a species of bird in the thrush family. It is found in south-eastern Asia from the Himalayas to northern Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.

A large forest thrush whose name describes its key feature; males are black and females are brown, but both have flashing silvery wings. Its bright orange bill and eye ring are eye-catching in dark forests. Forages quietly in the forest understory, usually solitarily. Tends not to visit gardens and parks like Tibetan and Chinese Blackbirds, but does occasionally visit feeders at hides. [x]

This species has a very large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). Despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction and degradation. [x]

Day 144, the grey winged blackbird!  a friend requested a thrush so this is what I came up with.
