Robin With a New Anklet - a photo on Flickriver

            American Robins are very common in Michigan, especially in the Spring at peak migration. Many continue northward, but many also remain in Michigan during breeding/nesting time. Some brave (foolhardy) ones even remain during winter.

What makes this one unique is the tracking band on its ankle. Of the hundreds of robins seen during that week, this is the only one I have ever seen that had been banded.

The American Robin is the State bird of Michigan.
