Monday afternoon I got out for a walk in the woods.   At one point
I observed a Robin walking on top of the crusted snow. The bird was busy
feeding on something, but there were no berry bushes or weeds around.
As I looked closer, I saw that there were small insects walking across
the snow.  I don't know what kind of bugs they were,(I'm not an
entomologist).   The Robin was actually eating the insects.   The bird
would have to eat an awful lot of the bugs to get filled up.   Has
anyone else ever seen this?
