Description
The grey trembler (Cinclocerthia gutturalis) is a songbird species in the family Mimidae. It is found only in Martinique and Saint Lucia, the Martinique trembler (C. g. gutturalis) on the former island, the Saint Lucia trembler (C. g. macrorhyncha) – which might be a distinct species – on the latter.
Size
26 cm
Feeding Habits
Grey Trembler, primarily consumes invertebrates, insects, and fruits. It forages actively, using unique techniques to uncover prey. Its diet is adapted to the availability of these food sources within its habitat.
Habitat
Grey Trembler primarily thrives in mature wet forests and is less frequently found in drier scrubs and open woodlands. These birds favor the sheltered leeward sides of islands in their broader geographical range. They tend to segregate into wetter and denser forest habitats unlike their relative, C. ruficauda, and show a preference for more humid and closed environments compared to the open vegetation that is typical for Ramphocinclus brachyurus.
