A small migratory songbird of northern Europe and Asia, noted for the bright blue patch on its throat and chest.
From blue (Old English blew) plus throat (Old English þroat or þræt, the front neck). The bird is named for its distinctive blue coloration on the throat and upper breast.
Bluethroats migrate between the Arctic and Africa every year—scientists track them using tiny geolocators that weigh less than a gram, revealing that some birds travel over 40,000 miles annually!
