PHOTO OF THE DAY: ON THE LOOKOUT

An American robin stands perched on a porch Sunday morning. Here’s what allaboutbirds.org has to say about the familiar bird.

The quintessential early bird, American Robins are common sights on lawns across North America, where you often see them tugging earthworms out of the ground. Robins are popular birds for their warm orange breast, cheery song, and early appearance at the end of winter. Though they’re familiar town and city birds, American Robins are at home in wilder areas, too, including mountain forests and Alaskan wilderness.
