Robin In The Spring

Birds By Karol Livote

Robin In The Spring -A very familiar bird over most of North America, running and hopping on lawns with upright stance, often nesting on porches and windowsills. The Robin's rich caroling is among the earliest bird songs heard at dawn in spring and summer, often beginning just before first light. In fall and winter, robins may gather by the hundreds in roaming flocks, concentrating at sources of food. Will feed on insects and berries, earthworms, spiders, and fruit. Does much foraging on the ground, running and pausing on open lawns; apparently locates earthworms and other forms of food. Taken in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
