The Yonkers cuckoo doesn't have to

Robin eets the Worm.

Robins are growing fat on worms in
Lafayette square.
The grass there must be literally
alive with worms, for no robin seems
TO have any difficulty whatever in pick
ing up the best kind Of living.
You will see one of the birds hop
along, then suddenly reach down.
He begins to pull.
Up comes his head with a worm
dangling to his beak, one end of the
worm held tenaciously by the robin,
the other clInglng fast to mother
earth.
Braclng himself the bird throws his
eptire weight In one final heave. He
then consumes half the worm. and
flies away with the remainder.
The performance does not strike
one as cruel, for both bird and worm
are operating under the laws Of ma.
