| American Robin, Turdus migratorius, Lee county, Mississippi, USA, January 30, 2015 |
They eat earthworms, grasshoppers, crickets, moths, cicadas, beetles, caterpillars, weevils, termites, ants, fruit, and berries.
Their breeding range covers most of the United States and Canada. They usually raise two broods a year. Sometimes in the winter and early spring, we see flocks of Robins in open fields. I saw this flock of about 25 birds in a large cemetery.
Have a wonderful week-end!

Lea, those pretty robins were always a sign of Spring when I lived in Illinois, so they are a happy bird in my mind.
ReplyDeleteThe robins are one of the first signs of spring here, but we don't expect to see them for over a month yet!
ReplyDeleteHello Lea, nice post and info on the American Robin. You photos are wonderful too. I have been seeing a flock of them in my yard too. Thank you so much for joining in with my critter party. Have a happy weekend!

ReplyDeleteLovely to see your American Robins Lea. They are very handsome and I would love to see a flock of 25 or more of them.
ReplyDeleteI love your American Robins, much bigger than our ones. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteI will see the robins return soon to my garden....they always raise a brood or two here.
ReplyDeleteThey were a sure sign that Spring was coming .... funny, I always thought their breast was more brownish than red :-/

Nice shots - we have robins that are called robins for the same reasons - and they are not really related either!

I remember as a child knowing that when one saw a robin it was supposed to herald the coming of spring. For that reason, the American Robin is a special bird! Great photos and info!
ReplyDeleteSigh...think it will be a while before we see any robins here.
ReplyDeleteWonderfull robbins, greeting from Belgium
