The robin is a bird that is commonly associated with the arrival of spring. Large flocks of them winter in the northern states. These large groups can contain thousands of birds.
Robins inhabit open woodlands, agricultural lands, gardens and parks. They are found from Guatemala to Alaska.
Robins build nests out of mud and grass. They form a cup with the mud and line it with grass. Nests are built in trees, on ledges, or on windowsills. They can have two broods each season. Robins have a high mortality rate, with 80% of them dying each year.
