Male robins return before females so they can find a good territory for
their mate that has food, water, protection, nesting places, not too many
enemies and enough space.

The disadvantages of returning early are there may be bad weather, not
enough food, water could be frozen, and the trees are bare so there is no
protection.

The advantages are that the males could pick the best territory with plenty
of food and water and not have to share it and they could attract the best
females.
Also, the females would be safer arriving later and they must be kept safe
because they are the egg layers.
