The scene reflects March as I see it with damp, misty air, the run of melting snow, crows winging from one field to the next, and among it all, a robin perched atop a sap bucket forecasting the new season ahead. Found in southern Candada from Newfoundland to British Columbia, throughout most of the United States and extending southward through Mexico to Guatemala. The Robin is migratory, with the entire population shifting south in the autumn. They are brown above, reddish on the breast, and white on the lower belly and undertail feathers. Their throats are white, streaked with black.
Females are slightly duller and paler in color than males.
Young juveniles have dark spots on their breasts and are also paler in color than the adult males. American Robins feed on a mixture of both wild and cultivated fruits, berries, earthworms, and insects such as beetle grubs, caterpillars, and grasshoppers. Breeds in the spring shortly after returning from the migration to their more northerly habitat. Breeding season is from April through July. The Robin is one of the first birds to begin laying eggs and normally has two or three broods.
