American Robin with food

American Robin is a species often seen on manicured lawns, but it is a widespread and adaptable species that occurs in a great variety of habitats. That versatility is shown in this image, which was taken in a high elevation setting in Yoho National Park, a protected area in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, Canada. That there are no mown lawns anywhere near the vicinity is confirmed by the wildflower in this image: Red-stemmed Saxifrage (Micranthes lyallii, previously known as Saxifraga lyallii).

Another indication of the hardihood of American Robin in this photo is that it has food in its bill, being taken to feed young that it has successfully raised in an alpine environment.
