My very first American Robin

The American robin is a migratory songbird of the 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. The American robin is widely distributed throughout North America, wintering from southern Canada to central Mexico and along the Pacific Coast.

I have tried to photograph robins many times, but they are very shy in the city and fly away as soon as you get a bit too close .... here he sits on a log at the beach of the Rebecca Spit, and I believe it is an older male (tomorrow a young female).
