"The First Robin of Spring"
Michigan's State Bird is the American Robin, Many people look for the "First Robin of Spring". Although most robins do migrate, some remain during the winter months, and some of those will survive to be the "First Robins of Spring".
In March, a large number of robins were in my backyard, indicating that a wave of robins had migrated back to Michigan. They are very prolific singers, with a song that sounds like "Cheer-up cheerily, cheer-up cheerily."
American Robins, Turdus migratorius, are members of the thrush family of birds. This picture shows its winter colors.
