American Robin, Missouri
One day, at the park, me and my friend were strolling around taking pictures of the ducks and geese on the pond. When we noticed a robin on the ground next to a tree. We crept closer and closer to the bird snapping images. Eventually we were so close we could have touched it, but we held our hands still; we didn't want to scare it away. The robin must be used to humans from living at a park, I was the one not so used to being so close to a wild bird.

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 flycatcher family.
