What do they eat?

In trying to figure out what attracts American robins to our backyard, I've looked up some information about their diet.

According to a study done by Nathaniel Wheelwright, American robins have a very varied diet. They like fruit, but eat it seasonally; in the spring they tend to eat more insects and more variation, whereas when fruit is available they tend to stick to it.

We have berries, lemons, and tomatoes. I wonder if they're eating the berries this season.
