About
The American Robin may be the most familiar bird in North America. Seen regularly in city parks, suburban lawns, and forest clearings, robins are easily identified by their appearance and cheerful caroling. Our largest thrush is also unquestionably our most successful, breeding from Berkshire to Nantucket and everywhere in between. Learn more >
Robins in Winter
Robins have been known to overwinter in Massachusetts since at least the early 1900s. The number of wintering robins depends largely on the severity of the weather and the abundance of food. Find out how robins survive the cold months
Wildlife & the Law
Many of the birds and animals we encounter are protected in some way by local and national laws.
