The American Robin (Turdus migratorius) is often considered an iconic symbol of spring in North America. This migratory bird is widely recognized for its distinctive orange-red breast and cheerful song. The arrival of robins is often associated with the changing of seasons, specifically the arrival of spring, as they tend to migrate northward during this time. Their appearance in yards, parks, and gardens is often seen as a sign that winter is coming to an end and warmer weather is on its way.
