Forest Thrush (Turdus lherminieri)
About the Forest Thrush
The forest thrush (Turdus lherminieri) is a Near Threatened species of bird in the family Turdidae, the thrushes and allies. It is found on four islands in the Lesser Antilles. The forest thrush was originally described by Frédéric de Lafresnaye in 1844 as Turdus L'Iherminieri. For a time it was placed in its own genus Cichlherminia. Following genetic studies published in the early 2000s that genus was merged into Turdus, restoring the species' original binomial (with modern spelling). The forest thrush has these four subspecies: T. l. lherminieri Lafresnaye, 1844 T. l. dominicensis (Lawrence, 1880) T. l. dorotheae (Wolters, 1980) T. l. sanctaeluciae (Scalter, PL, 1880).
