The La Selle thrush (Turdus swalesi) is a species of bird in the family Turdidae. A skulker of broadleaf and pine forests around 1300m, it is limited to a small and declining population in inland Dominican Republic. Despite a usually shy behavior, it often boldly approaches roads and other human artifacts. It only usually sings at dusk and dawn, also when it is most active.
Distribution
Turdus swalesi is found on Hispaniola island in the Caribbean. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane habitats.
The La Selle thrush is threatened by habitat loss.
