The American Robin, Turdus migratorius, is a widespread migratory songbird of the thrush family Turdidae, renowned for its distinctive caroling song and familiar presence across North America. It is one of the most common and recognizable birds, adapting well to diverse habitats from wilderness to urban environments.
Where to spot
Commonly found in lawns, gardens, parks, suburban areas, open woodlands, and agricultural fields throughout North America, and occasionally as a vagrant in other parts of the world.
How to spot
Listen for its rich, melodic caroling song, often described as "cheerily, cheer up, cheerily," especially at dawn and dusk; observe them foraging on open lawns, often pausing with an upright stance before pulling earthworms from the ground. They are easily approached in many human-modified environments.
When to spot
Most active during early morning and late afternoon; can be observed year-round in some southern parts of its range, while northern populations are present from spring through fall, migrating south for winter.

The American Robin is known for its remarkable ability to locate earthworms by listening and visual cues, sometimes even using a "worm-charming" stomp to encourage worms to surface.
