American Robin

Did you know the American robin (Turdus migratorius) is one of the 50 most common birds in the Bay Area? With a brick-red breast, gray head and wings, and a bright yellow bill, robins can be seen across the Bay year-round. Robins are very territorial, often aggressively defending their nests, making loud alarm calls to distract predators, and even dive-bombing humans that get too close, so be sure to keep your distance!
