American Robin

Description:

"The American robin is about 25 cm (10 inches) long and has gray-brown upperparts, a rusty breast, and white-tipped outer tail feathers...Most are highly migratory, spending the winter in flocks in the southern United States, though a few winter as far north as southern Canada. The American robin feeds on earthworms, insects, and berries. The nest, built of twigs, roots, grass, and paper with a firmly molded inner layer of mud, is placed in trees or on building ledges. Four to six bluish green eggs are incubated by the female for 12–14 days. The female incubates the eggs and the male obtains food for the young, who fly in 14–16 days. There may be two or three broods per season." (britannica online encyclopedia)

Habitat:

"The birds inhabit deciduous forests but are also a familiar sight in American towns and cities." (britannica online encyclopedia)
