I've seen robins my whole life, but I've never seen a juvenile stage one before - they look quite different from their adult form! I just saw one in the far edge of our lawn - I could tell from the way he was running around the yard that he was a robin, but looking through the binoculars, I could see he had a large stripe by his eye, and a black speckled breast. Very unusual! I assumed, since there are a lot of young birds around these days, that he must be a young robin. Looked it up in a bird book to be sure. :) Very cool!
This site has a couple of good pics of Juvenile robins, so you can see what I mean.
Good luck little guy!

I actually just saw one myself moments ago! I had never seen one myself either, but it looked as if it was tagging behind an older brother. It also didn't fly away, but rather hopped away to the undergrowth with the remains of a strawberry it stole. I thought it was a rather cute little thief! :D
