Robin Arrives Ahead Of Spring In St Louis Bird Notes
The St. Louis Bird Club president explains robins arrive with spring based on food supply and temperature. Robins migrate from interior North America toward southern Canada in warm periods, with inland birds moving north first and west coast birds wintering longer. They eat 58 percent vegetable matter and 42 percent insects, consume about 68 worms daily, and may travel up to 75 miles a day in peak seasons. They tolerate proximity to humans and often nest near people.
