The Ocellated Thrasher is a striking Mexican endemic, featuring dark, olive-brown plumage with distinct white spots (ocelli) on its underparts, and a relatively long, curved bill. It is a shy forest inhabitant.
Where to spot
Endemic to the highlands of southern Mexico, inhabiting humid montane evergreen and pine-oak forests, typically at higher elevations.
How to spot
Look for its dark plumage and the distinctive white spots on the belly and flanks. It is often skulking in dense undergrowth, so listening for its complex song is crucial for detection.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round within its resident range.

Its unique 'ocellated' or spotted plumage provides excellent camouflage amongst the dappled light of its dense forest understory habitat.
