With all of this winter’s snow, we’re all seeking harbingers of spring.
And soon we’ll be hearing the tell-tale cheery song of one my favorites: the American robin.
The quintessential early bird, robins are North America’s largest thrushes. They are distinctive for their warm orange potbellies, long legs and fairly long tails. They are common sights on lawns across the continent, where you can often see them tugging earthworms out of the ground.
