Bugs for Breakfast

On my way home from my morning walk, I saw this robin on the road ahead of me.

 
When he saw me coming, he flew up into a dead birch tree to keep me from stealing his breakfast.



It looks like he caught a cicada or some sort of large beetle.


He kept a wary eye on me until I was well past his perch. I tried to tell him he had nothing to worry about, since I was quite sure I wouldn't find the bug in question nearly as delectable as he did.  He didn't seem to believe me.

No, thank you, Sheila! I prefer my chocolate bug-free. :)
