The White-eyed Thrush (*Turdus jamaicensis*) is a distinctive thrush species endemic to Jamaica. It is easily recognized by its prominent white eye-ring and olive-brown plumage, often with a grayish head.
Where to spot
Common and widespread throughout forested and well-wooded areas of Jamaica, from coastal lowlands to montane forests. It can also be found in gardens and plantations.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic white eye-ring. Watch for it foraging for berries in trees and shrubs, or occasionally on the ground. Its relatively loud and varied song can help locate it.
When to spot
Observable year-round across its range. It is most active during the cooler parts of the day, particularly early mornings and late afternoons, when its calls are more frequently heard.

Unlike many thrushes that forage primarily on the ground, the White-eyed Thrush spends a significant amount of time foraging for fruits and insects in the canopy and mid-story of trees.
