Robin
Feeding Frenzy
- It looks
like the robin has at least two worms in its beak. Did you also notice
something that looks like antennae or legs? Do you think they belong
to a worm?
- Worms
don't have legs or antennae, so the other creature must be must be a
grub (larvae) of some kind of insect.
- Because
he has hungry babies back in the nest, he picks up a beakful of food
each trip. That way, he saves energy and can spend more time hunting
and less time traveling back and forth.
