Description
This beautiful American Robin (Turdus migratorius) was in my front yard, on the coldest day of winter; about 10 degrees below zero with lots of snow. There were several robins, all feeding on the remaining berries left on this Bradford Pear tree. I'm not certain if they were stragglers from the migration south, or if they were early in their migration flight from the south, headed north. Either way, I think they were a little off on their flight patterns! Not to fear, though, as the temperature was much higher and the snow was gone just three days later. Image captured in central Ohio, USA.
The American robin (Turdus migratorius) is a migratory songbird of the true thrush genus and Turdidae, the wider thrush family. It is named after the European robin because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related.
This bird breeds throughout most of North America, from Alaska and Canada southward to northern Florida and Mexico. While robins occasionally overwinter in the northern part of the United States and southern Canada, most migrate to winter south of Canada from Florida and the Gulf Coast to central Mexico, as well as along the Pacific Coast. Most depart south by the end of August and begin to return north in February and March.
