This is what the book says ;
Geographic Range
American robins are native to the Nearctic region. They occur year-round in 
southern Canada from Newfoundland to British Columbia, throughout most of 
the United States and along the Sierra Madre into southern Mexico. They 
migrate south for the winter, going as far as southern Mexico and Guatemala. 
In summer they are found as far north as northernmost Canada and Alaska. 
American robins are the most abundant and widespread North American thrush. 
(Sallabanks and James, 1999)
