Pulling weeds in the garden for the last couple of days, my constant companion has been a robin. He seemed to be quite curious as I dug the weeds out and put them in my bucket.
A worm wriggling in the clump I dug up, caught my attention. I removed him from the dirt and tangle of roots and tossed him to the robin. Then I tossed another worm and another.
At first, he was a bit cautious, but as the day wore on, he became more emboldened. He walked around me, sometimes only a foot away, turning his head from side to side. Then he began to sing.
The part of the garden I was weeding at that point did not have too many worms or bugs. Apparently, I was not tossing them to him fast enough and he started squawking.
I am pretty sure, at that moment, he was scolding me!
