The quintessential early bird, American Robins are common sights on lawns across North America, where you often see them tugging earthworms out of the ground. Robins are popular birds for their warm orange breast, cheery songs, and early appearance at the end of winter. Though they are familiar town and city birds, American Robins are at home in wilder areas, too, including mountain forests and Alaskan wilderness.
American Robins are industrious birds that bound across lawns or stand erect, beaks tilted upward, to survey their environs. When alighting, they habitually flick their tails downward several times. In Autumn and Winter, they form large flocks and gather in trees to roost or eat berries. These birds are common across the continent in gardens, parks, yards, golf courses, fields, pastures, and tundra, as well as deciduous woodlands, pine forests, shrublands, and forests regenerating after fires or logging.
