American Robin
(Turdus migratorius)
Cool fact: While the female American Robin incubates her second clutch of eggs, the fledged young from the first brood often join adult males at communal nocturnal roosts. Nightly roosting may begin as early as June. Males are joined first by spot-breasted juveniles, then by adult females. The number of robins at a roost peaks in late summer.

Spring arrivals first appear in late March (average 22 March, earliest 13 March, apart from an evidently newly appearing flock in Halifax on 6 March 1980).

The new robin.

A New Species of Robin
Museum scientists first encountered the Sangha Forest Robin on a 1996 expedition to the Central African Republic. It was one of seventy bird species collected for a diorama--a life-size slice of the Dzanga-Sangha rain forest--created for the new Hall of Biodiversity.
Information Was Scanty--and Inaccurate
The forest robin was first described in 1855, and was followed by descriptions of a second and third species by ...

American Robin (Turdus migratorius)
by Jim Granlund
We often forget how wonderful some of our most common birds are. I was reminded of this a few years ago while helping some visiting British birders to find a Spruce Grouse. As we watched the male grouse put on a show I asked one of them what their favorite bird of the trip was so far, and he replied that he found the American Robin to be "brilliant," and how lucky we were to have such a splendid bird practically everywhere. I ...
