Reddish-orange breast
Grey-brown back
White under tail coverts
Dark head
Yellow bill with dark tip
White spots around eyes
Listen to its song.
Having grown up in northern Ontario where the robin always signaled the coming of spring, it still strikes me as remarkable to see one in January. Just one of the many things I love about Victoria! Early this morning, I spotted this one checking out the other birds in our yard.
One interesting fact I recently learned about the robin we have here is that it is a completely different bird than the English Robin. It was that bird that was the little robin redbreast of rhyme.
