The
American Robin (
Turdus migratorius) is a
migratory songbird of the
thrush family. The similarity between the orange-red coloring of its breast to that of the smaller and unrelated
European Robin (
Erithacus rubecula) led to its common name. It is widely distributed throughout North America, wintering south of Canada from
Florida to central
Mexico and along the
Pacific Coast.
