American Robin (Turdus migratorius)

My first bird! A male American Robin (Turdus migratorius). Sighted on 56th Street in Hyde Park, Chicago, foraging with several others by the sidewalk.

 

The yellow bill distinguishes the male from the female. Identifying features: broken white eye-ring, bright orange breast, and dark back. One of the most common thrushes in human environments. My research indicates they are resident year-round in Chicago.
