An American robin (Turdus migratorius), the bird on Michigan lawns. The robins, the nest and the nestlings are made from photographs taken at Curiosity's Child by Kelly Smith, turned into 3D on our own computer (the young birds were first redrawn alone on a plain background with Grok, then built with Pixal3D). The baby inside the egg is made from Grok pictures with Pixal3D; an earlier hatchling, still in the files, is a real nestling scan,
