Another Eastern yellow robin, because I want. Took this shot at 1/160 because it was so dark in the forest. Bumped up the ISO to 5000 (which is my personal limit).

@NickGates@friendsofdesoto.social europeans named them robins, but theyre actually not true robins. Theyre not the same robins you see in US and Europe. Same as the opossum vs possum
What do u call robins
@crimsonbutterfly ours is a thrush: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_robin
Also, when i was in Europe, I discovered common blackbirds, which i thought of as black robins. They have very similar habits and sounds.
Coincidentally, what we call blackbirds in America are also very different
@crimsonbutterfly i know right
The Powhatan word for it is probably realiy hard for English speakers to pronounce tho
@crimsonbutterfly although that didnt stop them with skunks, raccoons, and Chicago
@crimsonbutterfly For ISO5000, that's a rather lovely image. No noise there. 👍
@crimsonbutterfly can i just say how interesting it is to see what other people call robins
