Had to rescale these to fit CF but here is my ice fishing robin. Two years ago in January one of the Three Ponds in Plymouth, MN had iced over except for a small snow insulated spot next to a big stump. The small fish had gathered there and a number of robins were grabbing them though a small hole in the ice/snow. Was fun watching them. Robins aren't built with prey bird beaks to tear apart flesh but they were making it work. Was below zero and the little fish they did pull up froze quickly. Little bit of thievery going on to as some robins were raiding the catch of others. All and all, something I'll not likely see again.
Sidebar: Another nice part about birding and bird photography is meeting people. Now friends with the retired radiologist I met there that day who was also braving the sub-zero tempt to get a look at the ice fishers.
This robin had just pulled this small fish out of the ice hole to the left.
Now figuring out what to do with it. This is where other robins sometimes tried to poach the catch but I didn't get an image of those skirmishes.
By now the small fish was a fish popsicle due to the sub-zero temps.
