The American robin can be found throughout North America. They are a migratory species, wintering in Canada, and spending their springs and summers in the USA.Robins are active during the day, and roost in trees or bushes. Nests are built compleatley by the females. Robin nests are made of coarse grass, twigs, and some feathers. This outer foundation is lined with mud, and cushioned with soft grasses.
Robins lay three to five light blue eggs that hatch after 14 days. Baby robins leave the nest two weeks later.
Robins eat berries, fruits, worms, grubs, caterpillars, and other insects. They hunt by sight, not hearing.
