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!

Hello Stewart:=)
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.
ReplyDeleteAlways feels good to see the robin! Even though you are heading into a beautiful autumn. Aloha friend
ReplyDeleteVery sharp and so much details
ReplyDeleteI think I have seen this species! Sorry not to have joined WBW of late, but none of the bird images on my recent posts are mine! That’s not likely to change over the next few posts either.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
ReplyDeleteI think they were voguing for you, or at least posing nicely.
ReplyDeleteThat burnt orange breast is handsome! Lovely!
