The Taiwan Thrush (*Turdus niveiceps*), also known as the White-eared Thrush, is an attractive species endemic to Taiwan's mountainous regions. It is notable for the distinctive white patch on its ear-coverts, contrasting with its otherwise dark plumage.
Where to spot
Inhabits montane forests and woodlands across Taiwan, typically at mid to high elevations. It can be found in broadleaf, coniferous, or mixed forests, often near streams or damp areas.
How to spot
Look for it foraging on the ground among leaf litter or perching quietly in the mid-story of the forest. Its white ear patch is a key identification feature. Binoculars are essential in its dense habitat.
When to spot
Present year-round in its mountain habitat. The breeding season (spring and early summer) is an excellent time to hear their songs, making them easier to locate.
