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.
