Every spring I am looking for Robins everywhere. These birds bring the spring on their wings. The Robin I photographed a few days ago landed on the tree with dried berries to feast on them.
Robin chose the biggest berry and was ready to swallow it.
While hunting Robin moves in short burst across the ground - running or hopping forward, then standing upright for a few seconds, often cocking its head to one side. It seems like it's listening for worms.
Actually, Robin is watching the grass and soil for sings of activity, turning its head to aim one eye at the ground. When it sees a worm, Robin lunges forward, stabbing into the soil and gripping the worm in its bill. Robin may swallow the worm whole or carry back to the nestlings.
Generally, life is good!
