Robins on patrol

In the 1920's, Wisconsin women's clubs held an election among school children and the robin was elected the state bird.  Right now, we have many green lawns around us and especially on freshly mowed grass, robins patrol.  Their hearing is acute and they hop around and freeze listening for the sound of earthworms moving.  If they hear them, they peck the ground repeatedly to grab the worms for food.

We have many on patrol.
