American Robin


American Robin

The American Robin, also known as the robin, is a migratory songbird of the thrush family. It is named after the European Robin because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related, with the European robin belonging to the flycatcher family.

Have lots of them making mess in the front lawn (moss) every spring. I love their song.

Are they as territorial as ours? I watched 2 robins knock the living daylights out of each other at dinner time tonight!
