Notes ³

Robins like lawns and move like hop-hop-hop STAND. They have a variety of distinct calls and seem to particularly like being vocal in the evenings: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/american_robin/sounds

Immature birds have less bright red breasts and brown streaks, and look kind of scruffy overall.
