Early Bird Gets the Worm

Posted by Steven (Chicagoland, United States) on 14 July 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

A robin hops along the lawn, stops, tilts its head and then grabs a worm. The robin is looking for the tips of worms at the entrance to their burrows. Most birds, like the robin, have eyes at the sides of their heads, giving them a 'wide angle view' of the world. For a good close-up view, however, they often direct only one eye at their food. They simply tilt their head in that direction and may appear to be listening, but rather are looking, for food.
