The Wisconsin state bird is the American robin (Turdus migratorius). It was officially designated as the state bird in 1949.
The American robin is a migratory songbird that is commonly found throughout North America, including Wisconsin. It is known for its distinct orange-red breast, gray-brown upperparts, and white belly. Males and females look similar, although males tend to have darker heads.
Robins are often associated with the arrival of spring in Wisconsin, as they are one of the first birds to return from their wintering grounds. They are known for their delightful song, which consists of a series of melodious phrases. Their song is often heard in the early mornings and evenings during the breeding season.
In Wisconsin, robins can be found in various habitats, including forests, fields, gardens, and urban areas. They primarily feed on insects, earthworms, berries, and fruits. Robins are also known to pull up earthworms from the ground using their beaks.
During the breeding season, robins build cup-shaped nests made of grass, twigs, and mud. The female usually lays 3-5 light blue eggs, which she incubates for about two weeks. Both parents participate in the feeding and care of the nestlings until they fledge, which usually takes around two weeks.
The American robin is a beloved and commonly observed bird in Wisconsin. Its cheerful song and vibrant appearance make it a recognizable and welcome presence in the state's natural landscapes.
