The American Robin is one of the most familiar and widespread songbirds in North America, known for its distinctive brick-red breast, grey back, and bold, cheerful song.
Where to spot
Widespread across North America, inhabiting forests, woodlands, suburban parks, gardens, and agricultural areas. Winters in the southern US and Central America.
How to spot
Easily found foraging on lawns for earthworms or perching in trees. Its red breast is unmistakable. Listen for its varied, clear, and caroling song ('cheerily, cheer up, cheerily, cheer up').
When to spot
Year-round resident in many areas, migratory in northern parts. Active throughout the day, especially noticeable at dawn and dusk when singing.

Despite its common name, the American Robin is a true thrush, not a robin (Old World flycatcher). It is a highly successful generalist, thriving in diverse habitats from forests to urban parks.
