Today my sister and I were walking around our block when we saw the mom robin, identified by the white chest, catch a worm. She then proceeded to cut the worm into three so she'd have enough to feed all three of here chicks. Smart thinking! Stuffing all three in to here beak, she flew off. In one of Gene Stratton- Porter's books, Homing with the Birds, a mother Robin sat 90 hours in the pouring rain, keeping her eggs warm, without her mate bringing her anything to eat. These amazing moms.
