Alaska Department of Fish & Game – "American Robin (**Turdus migratorius*) the quintessential early bird, maybe a common sight in suburban America, tugging earthworms out of dew-sparkled lawns, but it finds a home in wilder regions too. The summer breeding grounds of the robin extend as far north as the Brooks Range and as far west as the tip of the Aleutian chain."

iNatrualist – American Robin, "The American robin begins to breed shortly after returning to its summer range. It is one of the first North American bird species to lay eggs, and normally has two to three broods per breeding season, which lasts from April to July."

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology – "Although robins are considered harbingers of spring, many American Robins spend the whole winter in their breeding range. But because they spend more time roosting in trees and less time in your yard, you're much less likely to see them. The number of robins present in the northern parts of the range varies each year with the local conditions." Source: CLO Bird Guide, American Robin (Turdus migratorius), Life History.
