Young American Robin in berry bush

This photo of a juvenile American Robin in a Saskatoon tree was taken in Fish Creek Park, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

 

An interesting fact of this bitd is that both male and female American robins tend their nestlings together until they fledge at about two weeks of age. Parents continue to care for the fledglings for about another two weeks, at which time they are largely independent. The male does most of the care for the fledglings at this stage, as the female is busy getting ready for a second brood. She may have up to 3 broods each season.

 

-Turdus migratorius and Amelanchier alnifolia
