Connecticut State Bird

Robin

The American Robin (Turdus migratorius), Connecticut's state bird, is a widely recognized and beloved avian symbol known for its distinctive orange-red breast and cheerful song. These migratory birds are a common sight in Connecticut during the spring and summer months, where they play a vital role in controlling insect populations and dispersing seeds. As one of the first birds to return to northern regions in the spring, the American Robin's arrival is often seen as a harbinger of warmer weather and the changing of seasons, making it a cherished and familiar presence in the state's natural landscape.
