Early Bird Gets The Worm

Robins enjoying our organic backyard with plenty of earthworms coming to the surface after recent rain. It is amazing how these birds, which hunt by sight, find the areas with worms surfacing and come to feed. I think they thought they found paradise with the abundance of earthworms, hackberries and fresh water!

Winter Robins

We woke today to find our backyard filled with robins, many that have come down from the northern states for winter.  While we do see robins year round, the majority do migrate. 

Early morning foraging

Mockingbird and robin observed foraging for food one summer morning. Watch closely and you will see the mockingbird find one of the meal worms I put out frequently :-)
