Info. American robin

The bird perched on this branch in Canada is an American robin. Found in woodlands, fields, parks and backyards across North America, this widespread songbird is often associated with the first sign of spring, but many robins are still around in winter. You’re just less likely to see them during the colder months because they spend more time roosting in trees and less time hopping across lawns, as their diet changes from earthworms and insects to berries and small fruits.
