American robin watching me closely earlier while I was shooting storm photos in Greenup, IL. I had the 55-250mm in my lens bag, so I zoomed in, and captured a photo!

I saw many of these feeding on fruit in this tree. There was a nice sunset light on them and I was able to get pretty close. Only the sides were cropped on this shot.
I need to find out what kind of tree this is and plant one in my backyard, it was loaded with waxwings earlier.
Signs of spring - a robin perched on a branch. Can't get any more springlike than that! This shot is from the file, made during my West Coast years. Jericho Park, Vancouver, BC.

Over the weekend, our "summer" robins
(Turdus migratorius) arrived in huge numbers. There must be over a hundred in the neighbor's holly trees. They will strip the trees of ALL their berries within the next few days, and then they will go. With the cold weather, and only my little bowls of water, there is fierce competition for a drinking spot!!

This robin shows up in my yard from time to time. It has deformed legs and feet, kind of looks like thick calcification added to the legs and toes. It does not appear to affect it in anyway, it does just fine and is beautiful.

The commonest of common birds, but still pretty I think if you can avoid being bored by their ubiquitousness.
People's lawns are varied and diverse around my neighbourhood, so there's always something new for these birds to explore.

There were well over 40 of these around in one part of the park today. Hopefully signs of early spring! Mill Lake, Abbotsford, B.C.
They're finally back, about 3 weeks late this year, and it's still too cold for what is supposed to be spring. I'm not seeing much in the way of insects and this one has been eating shelled sunflower seeds out of my tray feeder, alongside the redpolls who refuse to head north until it warms up. I put some raisins there because robins usually love raisins, but it hasn't yet figured out what they are.
La traducció literal del anglès seria "pit-roig americà", però clarament hi ha una diferencia de mides; i de colors perque aquest te el pit ataronjat. El nom cientific és turdus migratorius. Fotografiat al Central Park de Nova York.

The robins have left us and are headed north to enjoy their summer. Before they moved on, this guy posed nicely for me at Merritt Island late last month.
Thank you all for your support and comments.

An unlikely pair sharing the morning sun in a treetop.
I was happy to see a mature Red-tailed Hawk posed in a way that highlighted the bright red of his tail, and surprised that a Robin decided to share the same treetop -- although a healthy Robin has little to fear from a big hawk like a Red-tail while on the wing.
The shot gives a good sense of the comparative size of the birds.
This was taken out in the backyard. I can't be certain, but I think what we see on his beak is the aftermath of his raid of the backyard cherry tree.

A very windy, somewhat chilly day. Took a backyard walk and discovered a nearby Robin upset that I'd gotten too close to her nest. I couldn't resist a quick shot of these nestlings before leaving the scene.
It is generally thought that English settlers in America named the American Robin after its orange-breasted English namesake. But the name Robin was not commonly used in Britain at the time of the settlers arriving in America. In Britain, Robin was originally an alliterative couplet with Redbreast (ie Robin Redbreast, a bit like Jenny Wren). The names Robin and Redbreast also competed with each other in the literature, and the name Robin only became commonly used in Britain by the late nineteenth century. Redbreast appeared in print as the preferred name as late as 1912. But American Robin was described new to science way back in 1766 by the Swede Linnaeus. Which left me wondering whether the pioneers might have called this bird (American) Redbreast, or even (American) Robin Redbreast, given that was the more usual term for the British species at that time. I think John James Audubon (c1838) labeled it "American Robin or Migratory Thrush", the latter being a direct translation of its scientific name. So it would appear this species has always been known as American Robin. But I would welcome any comments on the subject as my own library is a bit sparse on old American bird books.
