American Robins are fairly large songbirds with a large, round body, long legs, and fairly long tail. Robins are the largest North American thrushes, and their profile offers a good chance to learn the basic shape of most thrushes. The robin makes a good reference point for comparing the size and shape of other birds, too. The American Robin, the quintessential early bird, is a common sight on lawns across North America, where you often see them tugging earthworms out of the ground.

Robins are popular birds for their warm orange breast, cheery song, and early appearance at the end of winter. Be the first to add the popular robin to your Christmas tree this year.
