American Robin
| View Cart ⇗ | Info
The American Robin, Turdus migratorius, is a migratory songbird of the thrush family. It is named after the European Robin because of the male’s bright red breast, though the two species are not related. The American Robin is widely distributed throughout North America, wintering south of Canada from Florida to central Mexico and along the Pacific Coast. It is the state bird of Connecticut, Michigan and Wisconsin. It has seven subspecies, but only T. m. confinis in the southwest is particularly distinctive, with pale gray-brown underparts.
