European
Robin. Buried in the underbrush.
He
was curious enough to come out to see us.
In
England, known as Robin Red-breast. One might wonder why, with that
bright orange breast, he would be named Robin Red-breast. The answer to
that question is that the little bird was described and named in England in the
1300s. A specific word in English to distinguish orange from red, was not
coined until the 1400s.
