North American Birds Calls

Distribution: The American Robin is a member of the North American thrush family. It has one of the earliest arrivals to their nesting territories in the spring. The robin has always been considered a harbinger of spring. At one time there was a number of bird species in North America with the name robin in it, such as the Clay-colored Robin and White-throated Robin. These two have now been renamed thrushes. The Rufous-backed Robin from Mexico has kept its name so far. The American Robin covers all of North America and is a familiar bird to all.

ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
