American robin
Orange-chested yard bird
The American robin is a migratory songbird common across North America, recognized by its orange-red breast and cheerful song.
Robins are associated with spring, often appearing on lawns searching for earthworms as weather warms.
Despite sharing a name with the European robin, they belong to the thrush family rather than the Old World flycatchers.
