American Robins, Turdus migratorius, are ground foragers that eat insects and berries. This is a female; the males are darker on the head, back, wings, and tail.
I didn't know there was a difference in the appearance of the sexes. I'll have to look for that. I have one who comes for a bath most evenings on the deck so will check it out.
Our grass and trees invite many robins to nest in strange places nearby...several nests are on the crook of downspouts from the roof gutters. Here they are interested in worms as well as bugs!
Always a pleasure to see this common bird.
