Robins
Actually, these birds spend the winter in much of its breeding range. However, because they spend less time in yards and congregate in large feeding flocks during winter, you're much less likely to see them.
During milder winters, it's more common to see them in backyards.
American Robins are often used as the standard to which other birds sizes are compared.
Description:
American Robins have gray upperparts and the familiar reddish breast, varying from pale rust to a dark brick red. Male and females look nearly identical. The female is a bit duller.
Sometimes during nesting season you'll see mud on the breast of a female, since she is the one that lines the nest with mud. The average size of this bird is 9-11 inches long.
Often, you'll see these birds hoping on lawns, meadows, and golf courses looking for earthworms. They also eat insects, fruit, and berries.
