Ecology & Habitat

Description

Upper side dark gray with a darker head; rusty-orange breast and flanks; white spots around eye; dark tail with or without white outer corners. Adult male is darker than adult female and has a darker orange breast. Juveniles have a dark-spotted orangish breast. Length: 25 cm, wingspan 43 cm.

Habitat

American robins use a wide range of habitats, including forest, woodland, scrub, parks, thickets, gardens, cultivated lands, savanna, swamps, and suburbs. They are attracted to areas with damp ground or small fruits. Nests are in forks or on branches of trees or shrubs, on building ledges, sometimes on fences, posts, or cliff ledges, or rarely on the ground; usually 1-6 meters above ground.

Ecology

Defends nesting territories but may also use undefended feeding grounds up to 300 meters distant (Knupp et al. 1977).

Reproduction

Egg laying usually begins in April or (in some northern or high elevation areas) May, and nesting may continue into July. Clutch size is 3-6 (usually 4). Incubation, by female, lasts usually 11-14 days. Both parents tend young, which leave the nest 14-16 days after hatching. Individual females produce/attempt usually 2 broods per year, sometimes 3.
