The American Robin, Turdus Migratorius, are one of the larger songbirds with a plump, round body, long legs, and a fairly long tail. They are the largest of the North American Thrushes and are a grey-brown colored bird with orange underpart and dark heads. When flying, a white patch on the lower belly and under the tail. Females will have paler heads in comparison to the males. Robins are commonly found throughout the American continent, preferring many habitats from fields, city parks, and lawns, to forests, woodlands, tundra, and recently burned forests. During the winter, many Robins will move to moist woods where there are more shrubs and trees that produce berries. They eat a combination of fruits and invertebrates such as earthworms, insects, and some snails. Robins have been recorded on rare circumstances to eat shrews, aquatic insects, and small snakes. Fruits such as sumac fruits, juniper berries, and chokecherries are among a Robin's varied fruit diet. When foraging on the ground, they will run a few steps and abruptly stop while in long grass, they may hop or fly just above the ground using powerful, slow wingbeats. They will hunt for worms by staring, motionless, at the ground with their head cocked to one side and sometimes will fight over worms already found by other Robins. During fall and winter, they will roost together in large flocks and spend most of their time in the trees. In spring, males will attract mates by singing proudly, raising and spreading their tails, shaking their wings, and inflating their throats. When pairs form, you can see them approach each other while holding their bills wide open and touching them. Female robins will build their nest from the inside out, using dead grass and twigs to form a cup shape using the wrist of one wing. Once this cup is formed, the nest is built stronger by using soft mud gathered from worm casting. The nest is finished off using fine dry grasses lining the inside. Other materials used to create the initial cup include feathers, moss, and paper. These nest spots are chosen by the female usually on one or several horizontal branches in a more hidden place below a layer of dense leaves in the lower half of the tree. Now and then, a Robin will nest in eaves, gutters, outdoor light fixtures, and other structures.
