Fort Harrison State Park, 11/13/10
Family: Turdidae (thrushes)
The American Robin looks different than the European Robin because they are not closely related. The American Robin probably got its name because of its reddish brown breast, similar to the orange breast of the European Robin. European Robins are now classified as Old-World flycatchers, in the family Muscicapidae.

This photoblog is my nature journal and travelogue. Many of my wildlife images were made in environments impacted by humans. My goal is to feature each animal in a way that allows the viewer to sense the essence of its life in the wild. The purpose of the accompanying narratives is to enhance awareness and appreciation of our natural world, as well as to inspire everyone to protect and care for it.
