American Robins live in woodlands, forests, fields and backyards in the Pacific Northwest.  They like to live near trees and shrubs that provide fruits.   They eat invertebrates, like worms, and fruits such as the Red Flowering Currants. They build their nests in trees, but can also build nests in gutters or on light fixtures under house eves.
