How does a bird find a worm in the ground?
Before the sun rises and warms up the earth's surface, earthworms
usually crawl up to the earth's surface while it is still cool
and damp with the morning dew. That's also the time they fall
prey to the "early" (and hungry) birds. When a bird stands on
the ground near a worm which is crawiling underneath, the bird
can feel the earth's vibrations with its feet. The bird can also
hear the worm tunneling in the earth below with their ears.
