| | American Robin |
 | | One of the earliest records of the American robin in Ohio is Moravian missionary David Zeisberger's journal entry in 1779-1780, "the fl-bird [robin] has a reddish breast and its wings and back are ash-colored. |
 | | Because of Ohio's thick forests, American robins were not common during early settlement. |
 | | Today, robins are common in Ohio from the spring to fall, and are fairly common winter residents in southwestern Ohio. |
