Early bird gets the worm...

American Robin

Turdus migratorius

This traditionally early-arriving spring migrant thrush is often seen in southern Canada and the northern United States in early April looking for worms and insects and any other foodstuff as it prepares for the nesting season.   It is traditionally thought to signal the end of winter and is always welcomed enthusiastically.

It is common and widespread and brightens both forest and suburbs with its loud, flowing song, a variable "cheerilly, cheer-up cheerio"!
