~ AMERICAN ROBINS in ALASKA ~
| |
|
The American Robin is a migratory songbird
commonly found in North America.
In the Spring, some fly north to Alaska to their breeding grounds (shown in yellow on the migration map).
Every year, Robins may raise two broods in separate nests, each holding 2 to 4 blue eggs.
In late Summer, they fly back south where they spend the Winter (blue and green on the map).

In Alaska, Robins arrive in May and start building a
nest early especially if they intend on raising a second brood later on. Nests measure 10 to 12 inches in diameter and are made of grass.
This nest contains 3 Robin eggs.
