American Robin
Look for the rusty-red breast
What to look for: black head and a rich, rusty-red breast; female is duller with a gray head and lighter breast
Where you'll find them: loves to hop on lawns in search of worms
Calls and songs: chips and chirps; sings all night in spring; studies report that city robins sing louder than country robins so they can be heard over traffic and noise
On the move: found all over the U.S. in an amazing range of habitats, from sea level to mountaintops
What they eat: insects, fruit and berries, as well as earthworms
Nest: cup; weaves plant materials and uses mud to plaster the nest to a sheltered location
Eggs, chicks & childcare: 4–7 pale blue eggs; Mom sits on the eggs; Mom and Dad feed the baby robins
Spends the winter: in southern states and Mexico and Central America
Stan's Cool Stuff
When a robin walks across your lawn and turns its head to the side, it isn’t listening for worms―it is looking for them. Because its eyes are on the sides of its head, a robin must focus its sight out of one eye to see the moving dirt caused by a worm.
Real Quick
Size: 9-11"
Nest: cup
