Area Robin Can't Eat One More Cicada

Nebraska City, NE -- Having raised several broods of robins, Area Robin (female) has stuffed food of all sorts down hungry throats.

"It was OK the first few days. I ate some of them myself. And I did feed the nestlings who eat anything. But after a week I could barely hold them in my mouth long enough to carry to the nest. I won't forget the taste soon."

Fortunately for her they come here every 17 years so she will be dead next time.
