With its orange breast and cheerful song, the American Robin is one of the most familiar birds in North America.

Robins hunt earthworms on lawns and eat fruit and berries. Many people see robins as the first sign of spring, although some stay in Ohio through the winter, gathering in wooded areas.

Where to See It

Lawns, parks, gardens, and fruiting trees in every Ohio community.

Fun Fact

Robin eggs are a famous shade of blue that has inspired the color name robin’s egg blue.

Help Birds Thrive
