landbirds
Sparrows and thrushes
Landbirds are birds that live primarily on land rather than in water or coastal environments—songbirds, raptors, woodpeckers, and the like.
The term appears mainly in ornithology and birdwatching to distinguish terrestrial species from waterbirds, seabirds, and shorebirds: The island serves as a stopover for migrating landbirds.
