Robin (Turdus migratorius)
Robins are probably the best known of the United States birds, and widely
believed a harbinger of spring, adults are 10 inches long. They
breed in the United States and Canada, and winter in most of the
United States, ranging south to Guatemala.
One of the most cherished of our native birds, the robin is an
omnivorous feeder. While its food includes many worms and
insects, it is especially fond of fruit, particularly cherries, mulberries,
and strawberries. Like the bluebird, it is a thrush.
Highly adaptable, it is friendly and trusting in cities and towns, and
wild and distrustful of man when living in wilderness areas.
