Wikipedia eBird A-Z Animals Audubon AllAboutBirds Xeno-Canto

Classification: Genus Turdus; Family Thrushes (Turdidae)
General:

The American robin (Turdus migratorius) is a migratory songbird of the true thrush genus and Turdidae, the wider thrush family. It is named after the European robin^[2] because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related, with the European robin belonging to the Old World flycatcher family. The American robin is widely distributed throughout North America, wintering from southern Canada to central Mexico and along the Pacific Coast. It is the state bird of Connecticut, Michigan, and Wisconsin.^[3] [more]

Call: Automatically generated from Xeno-Canto recording. - but really OWN
I heard 3 or 4 scattered birds calling it in woods with underbrush but saw no birds. BirdNet told me they were robins, which I found hard to believe, but on comparing it with recordings at XenoCanto, I was convinced! Maybe they were telling each other "Don't show yourself to that alarming guy!".

Sputtery tik or ticking calls from a group of europan robins, never seen, plus eurasian nuthatch, blackcap warbler, probably magpie. 2021-07-03 08:05:14 Callers: American robin, European nuthatch
