American robin
Turdus migratorius
Abundant, widespread thrush that splits its diet seasonally: earthworms, insects, and other invertebrates dominate in spring and summer, while soft fruits become the primary food in late summer, fall, and winter. Robins consume a wide range of native fruits including chokecherry, hawthorn, dogwood, serviceberry, and mulberry, and they disperse seeds across the landscape as they move in winter flocks. The species nests in an open cup, typically on a horizontal tree or shrub limb, so fruiting trees and shrubs serve as both food and nest structure in a garden.
Conservation
IUCN Red List: Least Concern. Among the most numerous and broadly distributed land birds in North America, with a stable-to-increasing continental population; no special conservation status.
