Today I photographed a Robin in the hills and fir forest west of Willamina
with a very large insect in its beak, apparently destined for consumption
by a young Robin somewhere nearby. The insect was as large as a large
butterfly, but I cannot find a match for it in my Kaufman butterfly field
guide, so I assume it is a moth, and an unusually colorful one. I do not
recall ever seeing a Robin selecting such an insect as a food item.
If someone would like to take a look at the photo, and can identify the
moth (if that's what it is), I would be pleased to learn its name. The link
