Robins
With three different types of birds sharing the common name 'robin' and none of them being closely related to one another, this songbird can be a little tough to sort out. North American Robins, which belong to the thrush family and were named Robins for their resemblance to the European Robin, are native to parts of Canada and most of the contiguous United States. Known for being a sign of spring, these birds are a welcome sight to many in North America. The European Robin (also called the 'true robin'), which is part of the flycatcher family, is found all across Europe and even into Western Siberia and Northern Africa. European Robins are associated with the Christmas holiday but can also be found in British and French folklore. And last but certainly not least, there are the Australasian Robins. These little birds belong to the genus Petroicidae and can be found in Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and on many Pacific islands.

Where do Michigan robins migrate to?
American Robin - Turdus migratorius is a migratory songbird of the thrush family. While Robins occasionally overwinter in the northern part of the United States and southern Canada, most winter in the southern parts of the breeding range and beyond, from the southern U.S.A. to Guatemala. Most depart south by the end of August and begin to return north in February and March. As with many migratory birds, the males return to the summer breeding grounds before the females and compete with each other for nesting sites. The females then select mates based on the males' songs, plumage, and territory quality. The females build the nest and lay three or four blue eggs in the lined cup. Incubation, almost entirely by the female is 11-14 days to hatching. Two broods in a season are common. This is the state bird of Connecticut, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

When do robins come back to Michigan?
Some robins hang out in Michigan year round. I've seen them in January at our heated bird bath.
But you should start hearing them in the mornings and at dusk starting as early as March as larger numbers migrate back and begin their mating season here again. I'm speaking for southeast Michigan; they'll gradually work their way northward throughout March and into April. They're my favorite harbinger of Spring!

Yes, robins can lay a second clutch of eggs if their original nest is disturbed or if the eggs are stolen.

However, the timing and likelihood of renesting can depend on factors such as the stage of the breeding season and the individual bird's condition.
