Prior to starting this blog, I had never seen one of these birds. Now, I frequently see them in our yard. Coincidence? Probably not. It's likely I just mistook them for robins, given their similar colouring. I've now learned that the two birds aren't even related, one being a thrush and the other being a .... sparrow. Oh no, not again. I really had no idea. Sorry about that folks.
