Robins are a Sign of Spring!
It's springtime and one of the most popular signs of spring is the robin. Robins, with their cheery tweets and bright red breasts stand out against the disappearing snow.
Cheerio, calls the robin as the rain starts to fall.
This lens is a unit study of robins that will get kids reading and writing, adding and investigating robins. Make up a robin dance or recite a robin poem. Put on your robin wings and fly on the wings of learning...

Robins outside my Window
Robins Herald the Spring
The Kindly Robin, Victorian Christmas Card
Castell Brothers

Growing up in Vermont, the winters were long and cold. The days were dark and it seemed that spring would never come.but one day you would hear a dripping sound outside your bedroom window. The sun would rise a little earlier than the day before. The delicious aroma of wet mud would waft through the air as you opened the door and there on the lawn you would see the first robin of spring.
What a welcome site the robin is! It hops around the yard with it's head cocked to the side listening for earthworms. Then it hops and listens again.
Soon another robin flies in and if you look around you find more robins in the back yard. One robin pulls up a fat, juicy earthworm which stretches and stretches so long that you think it might break. The robin flies with the worm in it's mouth up onto a fencepost to gobble it down and then starts advertising for a mate.
Cheerio! Cheerio!, he calls. You wonder which robin will respond.

Robins are relatively large birds that are easy to recognize. They have brown feathers on their backs and wings, darker heads and a very distinctive red breast.
There is no need to feed the robins. Robins eat worms and insects that are found in open areas such as lawns and fields so they spend most of their time in spots that are easy for you to observe.
We have a table with a couple of chairs near a window that looks out over the lawn and field. We keep binoculars, a digital camera, a clipboard with paper and recording sheets, and a bird guide there for whenever anyone spots a robin. Children love to record the number of robins they see. Each day we tally the number and add the count to our Bird Count Graph.

Each spring I try to learn something new. One year I discovered a robin's nest in the rafters above the woodpile.
By sitting their quietly we could listen to the baby birds calling to their parents to feed them. We noticed that the baby birds became quiet when the parents flew away.
We are guessing that they are staying quiet so that predators don't find them. When the parents are near again the babies begin to call for food again.
We are hoping to observe more nesting robins this year to see if they communicate in the same way.
Have you made any original observations about robins yet?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byYes, I noticed...
MiaBellezza says:
I have resident robins return each spring and it's entertaining to watch them chase off other birds and squirrels when the nest is threatened. They never chase me off when I go near the nest, but they have dive bombed my husband's head a few times! I scare off predators for them when it comes to my attention, but unfortunately the robins often need to lay a second nest, as the first always seems to get eaten.

I live in Georgia, and we have TONS of robins here! They are so pretty and proud as they sit in the branches of the trees near our porch. I have also noticed that they have a very unusual call, and that they are much larger than I thought when I was a child.

We had a pair set up a nest on the windowsill of my office. It was extremely informative to watch it go from nothing to a built up abode. I had no idea the work involved. It's cute how they stomp and flick their feet to move the material in place.

Just a few days ago I saw one gathering fresh cut grass in my dad's back yard after he had done some trimming of an overgrown area. There were leaves from last Fall, vines and brambles mixed in, so the robin was picking through it to get the grass.

It has been a banner year for Robins in our area this Spring! We actually had a school ground covered in Robins.We lost count, but there was over 100 robins in one place! We have never had that before!

String for the Robins
Help the Robins Build their Nest
Bird Nest with Eggs
Blair, James P.
Buy at AllPosters.com
Spring is nesting time for the robins and you can help. Leave natural fibers and string on branches or grass. When you clean your hairbrush, leave the hair out for the birds as well.
Then back off and observe closely. You may see a bird fly off with your offering. If you follow his path you might even discover where he is building the nest.
Be sure to stay quite a ways away from the nest sight of the robins will abandon it and start a new one. They need to be sure that the baby birds will be safe from predators and they see you as a threat.
Robin's Home
Cozy in his nest Robin has the perfect life: parents who feed him and a nest that fits as perfectly as a hug.
Children helped the robin family find materials for weaving their nest by hanging bright yarn on a tree branch.
The story ends when Robin learns to fly and realizes that now the whole sky was home.

The Best Nest
Long ago, when the world was young, the magpies nests were the envy of all other birds.
To help the other birds, Maggie Magpie patiently explained how to build a nest.
But some birds were impatient and flew off without listening to all the directions, which is why, to this day, birds nests come in all different shapes and sizes.
This clever retelling of an old English folktale teaches the importance of careful listening.

Making a Nesting Bag for the Robins
What is a Nesting Bag?
N is a Robin's Nest
Buy at AllPosters.com
Watch a young girl collect items for a nesting bag and see how she hung it out for the birds. Hanging it in the window must have made it easy to watch when the birds came to pull out her offerings. Hanging it near the bird feeder must have made it easier for the birds to find it. Robins, however, would do better with their offerings scattered on the lawn as that is where they search for food.
- How to make a nesting bag | The Science Mouse
- When migrating birds come back to their summer territories, they begin to build their nests for their babies. In Spring, the weather is getting warmer but it can still get very cold. The wind can also still be cold even when it is warm out. To keep warm, some kinds of birds build their nests [
The American Robin
Here is an overview of the American Robin. Reading about robins gives you a starting point for your study but should never stop there. The real joy in learning about a new subject is in discovering something on your own. Read the article from Wikipedia about the American Robin and then use that knowledge to see what you can discover that is not mentioned in the article.
The American Robin (Turdus migratorius, also called North American Robin) is a migratory songbird of the thrush family. It is named after the European Robin because of the male's bright red breast, though the two species are not closely related. The American Robin is widely distributed throughout North America, wintering south of Canada from Florida to central Mexico and along the Pacific Coast. It is the state bird of Connecticut, Michigan, and Wisconsin. It has seven subspecies, but only T. m. confinis in the southwest is particularly distinctive, with pale gray-brown underparts.
The American Robin is active mostly during the day and assembles in large flocks at night. Its diet consists of invertebrates (such as beetle grubs and caterpillars), fruits and berries. It is one of the first bird species to lay eggs, beginning to breed shortly after returning to its summer range from its winter range. Its nest consists of long coarse grass, twigs, paper, and feathers, and is smeared with mud and often cushioned with grass or other soft materials. It is among the first birds to sing at dawn, and its song consists of several discrete units that are repeated.
The adult robin is preyed upon by hawks, cats and larger snakes, but when feeding in flocks it is able to be vigilant and watch other birds for reactions to predators. Brown-headed cowbirds lay eggs in robin nests (see brood parasite), but robins usually reject the cowbird eggs.
The European Robin
Until starting this lens about robins I never realized that there was a European Robin. What a different bird it is from the American Robin. When colonists first came from Europe they must have missed this cute little flycatcher and seeing a bird with a red bresat, called it a robin.
The European Robin (Erithacus rubecula), also known as a ruddock, robinet, or (in Anglophone Europe) simply robin, is a small insectivorous passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family (Turdidae), but is now considered to be an Old World flycatcher (Muscicapidae). Around 12.5-14.0Â cm (5.0-5.5Â in) in length, the male and female are similar in colouration, with an orange breast and face lined with grey, brown upperparts and a whitish belly. It is found across Europe, east to Western Siberia and south to North Africa; it is sedentary in most of its range except the far north.
The term Robin is also applied to some unrelated birds with red breasts. These include the American Robin (Turdus migratorius), which is a thrush, and the Australian red robins of the genus Petroica, which are more closely related to crows.
Clay-colored Robin
Robins in Costa Rica
When I lived in Costa Rica I saw many brightly colored birds but the robin who lives there is surprisingly drab. It is about the same size as an American Robin and is classified in the Thrush Family.
The Clay-colored Thrush (Turdus grayi) is a common Middle American bird of the thrush family (Turdidae). It is the national bird of Costa Rica, where it is well known as the yigüirro. It was formerly known as the Clay-colored Robin.
It ranges from South Texas (where it is rapidly expanding) to northern Colombia; west and north of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. It is limited to the Atlantic slope, except for a population around Oaxaca City that probably originates from escaped cagebirds.
Tales of Robins
A scene from "The Babes In The Wood", 1878
©TopFoto.co.uk/HIP
- The Robin in Folklore and Superstition
- A rich folklore surrounds the robin, which has always been seen as a friend to people, and an emblem of charity and piety.
So William Shakespeare described the "ruddock with charitable bill" while William Wordsworth asked, "Art thou the bird whom Man loves best/The pious bird with the scarlet breast/Our little English Robin?"
Little Robin Redbreast
-from Mother Goose.
Little Robin Redbreast sat upon a tree,
Up went Pussy Cat and down went he;
Down came Pussy Cat, away Robin ran,
Said little Robin Redbreast,
"Catch me if you can."
Little Robin Redbreast jumped upon a wall,
Pussy Cat jumped after him,
and got a little fall.
Little Robin sang and sang;
and what did Pussy say?
Pussy Cat said, "Mew, mew, mew,"
and Robin flew away.

Robin in the Rain
Robin in the rain,
Such a saucy fellow.
Robin in the rain,
Mind your socks of yellow.
Running in the garden on your nimble feet,
Digging for your dinner with your long strong beak.
Robin in the rain,
You don't mind the weather
Showers always make you gay.
Bet the worms are wishing you would stay at home,
Robin on a rainy day -- don't get your feet wet,
Robin on a rainy day!

Observing Robins
Letting the Kids Use the Digital Camera to Take Pictures of Robins
Children love to use the digital camera to record their observations of robins. Later they use these photos to illustrate stories and scientific reports. Children quickly learn how to use the zoom and light features to get the best shots.
Do you allow your children to use your digital camera? We found that the pictures we have taken of robins have helped us to get a closer look at robins and make observations that would not be possible to see when the robin is in motion. Our next goal is to try to recognize individual robins. We think that the digital photos will help in this endeavor.

Audubon Stuffed Robins
Learn the call of the Robin
If you go to my Riverotters lens you will find suggestions for creating a classroom tree. We keep our stuffed birds in branches of our tree.
The stuffed Audubon birds have recording of the calls of the birds that they represent. The children love to push the button to hear their calls and I notice that when we go on walks we are now beginning to recognize more and more birds even when we can't see them.
Plush Robin Audubon Bird 5"
The American Robin Plush by Wild Republic is part of the Audubon Backyard Bird 1 Plush Collection.
The Audubon American Robin plush bird stands 5" tall and makes real bird call sounds. This birdcall was produced by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
This great bird also comes with it's own information card with tons of facts about the American Robin!
The cheerful song of these birds is often considered a sign that spring has arrived in the northern states and Canada.
Their distinctive red breasts, pointed bills and dark upper parts and heads make them easily identifiable.
Robins are a common sight on lawns and are often seen hopping along the ground in search of worms and insects. Berries and fruit also round out their diets.

Robin Puzzle
Take a close look at the American Robin
When I was little we used to go to my Grandma's house on Sundays for dinner and afterwards we always sat around the card table to put together a puzzle.
Puzzles of 500 pieces can be very difficult for young children but when they are done together as a family children can start learning and observing the shapes and soon begin to be able to put the pieces in place.
This robin puzzle has the advantage of depicting an American Robin up close. Children see them in the yard but it is rare to get such chance to observe a robin as in this detailed puzzle.
After putting together a puzzle like this robin puzzle, children are excited about looking for real robins in the yard and are able to make wonderful observations about them.
