#16 - The American Robin
|
| | |
With its red breast, the American Robin, Turdus migratorious, is one of
North America's most easily identified and much-loved birds.
|
| | |
 |
The American Robin is actually a member of the thrush family. Although it was named after the European Robin, the two birds are not closely related. The male and females are similar in appearance, although the female tends to be a bit duller and the male has a darker head. |
| |
| |
The American Robin migrates across North America, up to the tree line in the north. For many people its appearance in the spring is a welcoming sign that winter is just about over. Then the male sings loudly from house tops and trees, defining its territory. |

|
 |
The juvenile quickly develops its red breast and learns how to hunt for earthworms. The American Robin also feeds on berries, small fruits, insects and insect larvae. |
