American Robin fledgling - Sopuli

Taken between June 5th - June 10th, 2024, Michigan. Not a professional photo in any sense. Apologies for that. But I saw this grumpy-looking little guy/gal in a bush and took a photo from a distance away. Wanted to share it, even if it’s not as good as any of the other photos posted here. One of the babies I’ve been observing since the nest was built above my deck. It was fascinating to see them grow up & finally leave the nest! All 4 are finally gone. I wish them the best in their growth and hope they are able thrive safely.

Wow. I knpw an American and an European robin aren’t the same, but now I see the high difference. Nice pic and thank you for the random education.

To be fair, this is the “awkward tween” phase.

Adult robins look much better!

I love Robins. They are brave little birds who love to hop/fly slightly ahead of you so they can stare you down. They give off a “Keep walking this way and you gon’ get stabbed” vibe. It’s an all bark no bite situation, so you’re not actually in any real danger.
