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.

This little bird has rested long enough. Now it's time for it to go out and find a nice nesting place. The search is on.

This lil bugger is in a Robin's Nesting area, just not this time of year!!!! Located in a large wooded park, several thousand acres of woodlands!! and trails, well developed roads and trails are taken care of, this travel bug is way off any maintained trail, in fact the park is closed to vehicle traffic, you can only walk in by foot, or snowmobile when the snow gets High enough!!!

Will move him a little closer to MI. Had to take because my daughter son-in-law and grandson live in CT
My daughter, son-in-law and granson are in from CT. The cache you placed it in is only three miles from where they live. It will be great watching the Robin move about the country.

I went back to monkey do again to show IronChef how to geocache(first-timer). He picked it up but I am logging it until he gets his account set up. We are going to go on our first night cache and place it somewhere here in the fingerlakes.
