Ouzel Ring basic information

Most Ring Ouzels have yellow bills. The female has more brown plumage than does the male. The feathers of the female's underside and the flight feathers of both sexes have edging that makes them appear scale-like. Usually, the underside of the Ring Ouzel is pale. Males may have a crescent shaped white bib. Although the crescent bib may also present in some females, it is usually dirtier in coloration or less well defined. Usually, males' plumage is a sooty or blackish color. At maturity, the average Ring Ouzel measures approximately nine and a half inches (24 centimeters).
