  
The American Robin is found
throughout North America, from extreme northern Canada and as far
south as Guatemala. This common and well-known bird is noted for
its habit of feeding in lawns where it finds earthworms (by
sight, not sound), and for its cheery voice. Robins are often one
of the first birds to sing in the morning. They prefer to build
their nest in the crotch of a tree. If you don't have an
appropriate tree, you can offer a nesting platform. Pick a spot
six feet or higher up on a shaded tree trunk or under the
overhang of a shed or porch. Creating a "mud puddle"
nearby offers further excitement, as robins use mud to line their
nests.
