American robin

Species: American robin (Turdus migratorius)
Family: Turdidae
Date: 6.21.15


             

Observation:

Dana spotted a robin right by our hammock.  Dana thought the robin looked like it was eating the newly wet grass (it had rained about a half an hour earlier).  After more consideration, Dana has proposed the robin may have been looking for worms.




A fact from Dana: 

Robins' diet changes during the day.  They tend to forage for earthworms early in the day and switch more to fruit later in the day.
