Following on from last week's post about the European Robin, this week we have the American Robin (Turdus migratorius). This Robin is a Thrush, and as the second part of its scientific name suggests, it migrates!
I saw this bird in Ontario, which I think is more or less at the northern edge of its year round range. As you go further north in Canada this species becomes a summer visitor.
You can certainly see why this bird was called a Robin!

ReplyDeleteI'm back after three weeks away from blogging. I posted a couple of European Robins, and I will go to see your last post about them when I have finished commenting this striking American Robin, it is a beautiful bird and beautifully photographed.
All the best

Our robins are back on Prince Edward Island now. A great sign of spring.
