From The Times

I thought this seemed typical British that we think of in the United States. From The Times Nature Notes:

An American robin has arrived in a back garden in West Yorkshire, and was still in Bingley yesterday. Last year at this time one was found in Peckham, South London, and three appeared in Britain in the winter of 1003-004, one of which was eaten by a sparrowhawk.
They only cross the Atlantic very rarely, but in America they are familiar birds in parks and backyards, and in spring and summer they hop around on the grass among the joggers in Central park, New York. Actually they are in North America all year round, but in the winter they tend to gather in large flocks and disappear in to swampy forests.
Because they have an orange-red breast and are trusting of humans, the early English settlers in America immediately called them robins, but in fact the are much more like blackbirds in their size and general demeanour. Both sexes have the red breast and greyish upper parts; the makes have a blacker head, especially in summer. Their carolling song has something of the timbre of our blackbirds' song, but with a more cheerful air about it.
