The
American Robin is named after the European Robin because of the male's bright red breast, though the two species are not closely related. The
American Robin is widely distributed throughout North America, wintering south of Canada from Florida to central Mexico and along the Pacific Coast. The head varies from jet black to gray, with white eye arcs. The throat is white with black streaks, and the belly and undertail coverts are white. The
Robin has a brown back and a reddish-orange breast, varying from a rich red maroon to peachy orange. The bill is mainly yellow with a variably dark tip. The sexes are similar, but the female tends to be duller than the male.
Common predators of the American Robin include birds such as the Black-billed Magpie, American Crow, common Grackle, Great-Horned Owl, Red-tailed Hawk, Cooper’s Hawk, American Kestrel, Falcons, and Blue Jays. Other predators include small mammals like cats, dogs, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, foxes, bobcats, snakes, and even humans.
Conservation Status: Robins are federally protected by the Migratory Bird Act.
