AMERICAN
ROBIN
With
a red breast and dark back, the robin is probably the best
known bird in the United States. They are widely believed
to be the harbinger of spring, although they winter quite
far north as long as food supply is available.
Robins
are early risers and their melodious songs can be heard
as the first faint glow of a new day begins. They do most
of their feeding on the ground and are often seen as pulling
earthworms from the soil of your garden or lawn.
Some
may not know that the robin is a member of the thrush family,
as is the bluebird.
