American Robin
 
Turdus migratorius
 
Photographed January and February, 2007
 
The Red Breasted Robin is gray above, brick red below.  Head and tail black in males, dull gray in females.  Young birds are spotted below.  9-11"
 
Their range is from Alaska eat across continent to Newfoundland, and south to California, Texas, Arkansas, and South Carolina.  Winters  north to British Columbia and Newfoundland. 
 

They are said to rarely be in the deep south, but we see them quite often.  We have a good one or two hundred robins on the farm lately.  They are said to like lawns with large trees in the deep south.  The top two pictures were taken in Baton Rouge.

 
 
 

The following were taken in Franklin Parish, LA on March 4, 2007.
