I was watching a robin at my neighbor's place in Springfield and noticed it kept going for the same spot.

It was pecking at the ground right under their leaky garden faucet, which made the soil soft and full of worms. I started putting a shallow dish of water near my own garden bed to soften the dirt, and now I see way more robins digging. What's a simple thing you've seen a bird do that gave you a new idea for your yard?

So @wade767, do they ever use sound at all?

Actually, robins mostly hunt by sight, not sound.

They actually use both pretty well, but you're right that sight is their main thing.
