The American Robin (Turdus migratorius)

The American Robin (Turdus migratorius) is a medium-sized songbird widely recognized for its orange breast and cheerful song. Common across North America, it inhabits forests, gardens, and urban areas. Robins are ground foragers, primarily feeding on insects, worms, and berries. They are known for their migratory behavior, traveling south in winter and returning in spring. Their appearance signals the arrival of spring for many people. Robins are important for pest control and seed dispersal, and their distinctive song and bright plumage make them a familiar and cherished part of North American wildlife.
