I grew up knowing Robin redbreast, and later learned it was a thrush. When I first came to Tasmania my local friends pointed me to the Pink Robin, which is a small rainforest bird with a bright pink breast; a member of the Petroicidae family (sometimes called Australasian Robins). I somehow had trouble calling them Robins. The very common suburban bird known here as a Blackbird struck me as being much more Robin-like than the Pink Robin. The Blackbird is introduced here and is indeed a thrush (and is again different than the American blackbird).sfranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098829237573816721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27055376.post-27604575819590635222011-07-30T21:26:26.626-04:002011-07-30T21:26:26.626-04:00I always thought the American Robin flew north aft...I always thought the American Robin flew north after the winter. They would arrive here in Houston, Texas around March then by April they would be gone. But there are a small few that hang around all summer. Why is that? Why don't they fly north?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
