All About The RobinOne of the first birds to return in the spring--migrates north early in March--sometimes remains during winter--stays north as late as October or November. Domestic--generally preferring to live near the home of man. Song--though short and always the same is in tone wonderfully expressive of happiness, love, anger, or fear, as the case may be. Black head--wings and tail brown--touches of white on throat--entire breast a rusty red.--Female duller and paler in colouring, growing almost as bright as the male in the autumn. Food--principally insects and worms--does not disdain fruit, berries, cherries, etc., but prefers insect food--a ravenous eater. Nest--outer layer composed of sticks, coarse grasses, etc., seemingly rather carelessly arranged--on this the rather large round nest is woven with grasses--plastered with mud--lined with softer grasses. Eggs--greenish blue--four in number--young have black spots on breast--generally two broods reared in a season--sometimes three. Next: The Swallow Under The Eaves Previous: Which Was The Wiser?
