Early bird with worm


This morning I watched this robin catch and eat an insect, then this worm, then it dug up another worm and flew off with it, presumably to feed its nestlings.  Both sexes feed the first batch of young until the female begins to incubate her second brood, usually in early summer, then dad takes over the job of feeding the fledged young of the first batch.
