About This Item

The Connecticut Robin

How do you know when spring will come? Not that big rat in Pennsylvania. I know spring in coming to Connecticut when I see my first robin.

The robin ranges from Florida into Alaska and is well adapted to backyards. The American robin was familiar even to the first New World colonists from England. They called it a “robin” because of its resemblance to the English robin. It’s actually a thrush.

In many locales, robins are even familiar in winter. As the scientific name, Turdus migratorius, implies, many robins do fly south as winter approaches. However many New England robins stay put, feeding on winter berries.


The robin is the state bird of Connecticut, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Since there was no sign of wildlife out here did not feel right letting this Robin remain here as the sole representative. Will take him West tomorrow.

Got this Robin out of the woods, we have a lot of Robins visiting us this time of the year, Must have had a hundred or so out across from us in an open court. Will move this bird on. He his probably ready to flap those wings after a month in a cache.
