The American Robin is North America’s most widespread songbird, with a range extending from

Alaska, Canada, and Newfoundland to the highlands of Mexico and Guatemala. Its ruddy red

breast and cheerful song have made it one of our most beloved birds - as American as apple

pie, as familiar a harbinger of spring as the first daffodil. Connecticut, Michigan, and Wisconsin

have chosen the American Robin as their state bird, while a pair of robins grace the Canadian

two- dollar bill.

In this book, Roland Wauer offers a complete natural history of the American Robin for a

popular audience. Combining his own observations as a field naturalist with data gleaned from

the scientific literature, he described the American Robin from every angle - appearance and

biology, distribution, behavior, life cycle, and enemies and threats. In addition, he explores the

legends and lore surrounding robins ( Whoever kills a robin redbreast will never have good luck

were they to live a thousand years ) and offers suggestions for attracting robins to your yard

with favorite food, water, landscape plantings, and nesting places.
