The American Robin is one of the most easily recognized and well-known birds in the backyard. The American Robin is one of the first birds to lay eggs, an early dawn singer, and an early morning worm-digger, making the Robin truly an "early-bird."

Dark-gray to a blackish top, white rings around the eyes, white thoat with black streaks, and a warm brownish orange breast. Females are duller in color. Immature Robins are recognized for their heavily dark spotted breast.

Robins are found in many areas: gardens, fields, parks and suburban areas, hedgerows, borders, forests, and second-growth.
