The Crow Blackbird.

This noted depredator is well known to
every farmer of the northern and middle
states. In March these birds come from
the south, fly in loose focks, frequent
Swamps and meadows, and follow in the
furrows after the plow; their food at this
season consists of worms, grubs and cater
pillars, Of which they destroy prodigious
numbers, as il to fecompense the husband
man beforehand for the havoc they intend
to make in his crops Of Indian corn. They
build in tall cedar and pine trees in COM
pany; sometimes ten or fifteen nesAF being
on the same tree These are FIVE hches in
diameter; composed outwardly Of mud, with
long stalks and roots of grass, aud lined
with hOrsehaiF.
The tees liz which they build are near
the farmhouses and plantations. From
them they issue over the neighboring fields,
and make their depredations As soon as
the blade of corn begins to make its ap-
pearance, the crow blackbirds hail it with
screams Of satisfaction, and descend ON the
fields, aad begin to pull up and rcgale
themselves on the seeds, scattering the
green blades around While thus eagerly
employed, the vengeance of the gun some
times oHertakes them but those
