How do robins find worms?

This is not an answer, but a question. I have watched robins searching for prey in the grass, and some of them tend to lean their head to the right, while others lean their head to the left.

Does that mean that robins are left/right (eyed,handed,brained)?

I wish a study could be done to determine this.

I know that a robin's right eye can aid in navigation (the earth's magnetic field), but does this translate to searching for prey?

I've done hours of looking and absolutely notice that some robins seem to be one sided or the other when cocking their head to find that special snack.

Any scientific findings or opinions?

Birds predominantly use sight when catching worms, but can also hear the small sounds earthworms make when crawling. Birds can eat up to 13 feet of earthworms a day.
