About Each Bird (Descriptions)
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ #}
The American robin is widely regarded as a harbinger of spring across North America. Despite its name, it is a true thrush unrelated to the European robin. American robins produce two to three broods per year and are among the earliest birds to sing in the morning chorus.
