I took several photos of this bird a long while ago, and am wondering now if it was a juvenile robin. The 4th photo was taken a couple of days later. Was assuming it's the same bird...could anyone help with this?
CLOSED: Juvie Robin?
Wait for the experts, but to me (rookie at this), the first three do look like young American Robins. The last one looks like a molting European Starling.
Thanks! I was thinking robin with these first photos, and am glad to know I was right. He just looks so fierce! And the starlings have been confusing me for a while, what with all the molting. I appreciate the help.
Yep, moulting juvenile Starlings changing from plain mousy-grey juvenile plumage to spotted adult winter plumage (while the adults are still in plainer summer plumage) are notorious for causing confusion ;-)
