How cool was this! An American Robin fishing, and eating minnows this winter. It was fascinating to observe, and glad it provided some excellent photo ops too. To read abou tit, and see more images, see my new blog post here:
Superb. I urge everyone to visit Dan's blog to see the whole story in pictures. Your bully robin might have the world record for the largest fish ever eaten by a robin. Is Golden Shiner native?

A dramatic and totally unexpected image! We have a lot of robins in Michigan, and I have never seen one fishing. Maybe that is where some of the small fish from my backyard pond have gone.
