American
Robin Gone off Course
How Did it Get to England?
We wondered whether the observer actual saw an American Robin. In Europe, another species of bird is also called a Robin.
You be the judge!
- Roll over the photo below to see the European Robin.
- Describe to a partner how the two are the same and different.
- Do you think a birdwatcher might easily confuse them?

Did
You Know?
Early colonial settlers named our American robin. They thought the bird's
breast color looked like that of another bird from England, the European
robin!
