American robin

The American robin (Turdus migratorius) is a North American songbird with an orange-red breast. It eats earthworms, insects, and fruit, and many populations migrate seasonally.

Turdidae: Turdidae is a family of songbirds that includes thrushes, chats, and related species. The American robin belongs to this family of ground-foraging songbirds.
Visual foraging: Visual foraging is the use of sight to locate and capture food. Robins scan the ground and use visual cues to find exposed prey.
Bird banding: Bird banding is the practice of attaching a small identifying band to a bird for research. Banding records help track robin movement, survival, and population change.
American robin migration: American robin migration is the seasonal movement of robin populations between breeding and wintering regions. Migration varies by population; some robins move far, while others remain relatively local.
Passerine: A passerine is a perching bird in the order Passeriformes, the largest order of birds. The robin's feet and vocal anatomy reflect its membership in this bird order.
Bird song: Bird song is a vocal signal produced mainly by birds for territorial and mating communication. Robin songs advertise territories and contribute to courtship.
Citizen science: Citizen science is research conducted partly or wholly by members of the public. Robin sightings contribute to large-scale records of distribution and seasonal timing.
American robin nesting: American robin nesting is the breeding behavior in which pairs build nests, lay eggs, and raise young. The species' familiar cup-shaped nests are built from vegetation and mud.
Bird migration: Bird migration is the regular seasonal movement of birds between breeding and nonbreeding areas. Seasonal movement shapes where many American robins live throughout the year.
Circadian rhythm: A circadian rhythm is an internal roughly 24-hour cycle that coordinates biological activity. Daily rhythms help organize robin activity, including dawn singing and nighttime migration.
