Often concealed with outer covering of live green moss. More elaborately and neatly constructed than those of other thrushes. The female builds the nest in about 4 days. Pale blue, evenly spotted with brown, generally more brown about the larger end. Oval with a smooth shell and very little gloss.
Incubation begins after the third egg is laid.
The young are fed by both parents, at first by regurgitation and by bringing them small insects. Gradually the insects become larger and some fruit may be substituted if insect prey is not as abundant. They are brooded by the female for the first few days. Little is known of their habits between fledging and fall migration.
