The American Robin is an easily recognizable songbird found across North America. The Breeding Bird Survey suggests little change in the population relative to about 1970. However, the species was heavily impacted by DDT and other pesticides from the 1950s to the 1970s (Sallabanks and Frances 1999). Although population levels before these die-offs are largely unknown, the species is still very abundant and widespread (Sallabanks and Frances 1999). The American Robin currently faces few substantial conservation threats.
Well adapted to suburban areas and flexible in its nesting requirements (Sallabanks and Frances 1999), the American Robin currently faces few substantial threats.
Environment and Climate Change Canada and partners have developed Bird Conservation Region Strategies in each of Canada’s Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs). In these strategies, selected species are identified as priorities for one or more of the following reasons:
