Habitat: Robins can be found in fields, woods, lawns and gardens. Their nests are made of grass with a middle layer of mud and a soft grass lining. They are placed in a tree, shrub or on the ledge of a building.

Foods: Robins love earthworms, but also eat insets and berries.

Facts:  One of the most common native birds of towns and villages, the robin, nests in every state except Hawaii and in every Canadian province. It is the largest of the thrushes, and young robins have the heavily spotted breasts that are characteristic of thrusts. Females are similar but duller. Colonists named the robin after a small European thrush with a much redder breast. The Varied Thrush (8 in.) of the Pacific states is similar to our robin but has a black breast band.

Did you know?:  Robins sing the most just before their eggs hatch.
