Our trip through the 13 original colonies by way of their state birds continues this month with the American Robin (plate 131), Connecticut’s State Bird. Robins are sometimes considered to be a sign of spring, and as Massachusetts thaws out from a snowy winter, they are a welcome sight. Visit us from April 8 through May 12 to see the American Robin on display in our Audubon case and read more in our blog post.
