Songbirds
What’s more pleasant to the ear than the sweet song of the early birds, the robins, in the morning?
This Robin is singing his heart out on top of a pile of firewood in the yard. He has just returned here from his winter in the South.
Sticking his chest out, it looks like the robin is looking for applause as he stops to take a break between singing. :))
Robins are territorial and although their song may sound mellow to us it is also a warning for other robins to keep off their ground.
The American robin 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, with the European robin belonging to the Old World flycatcher family.
