REO-WINGED BLACKBIRD
(Agelaius Phoeniceus-Linnaeus)

(Agelaius Observation-Disclosures
BY John 7. thinner, Department OF
Entomology, University Of Nebraska,
Early in the spring there begin to
arrive focks of birds, the males OF
which are shining black, with shoulder
patches of scarlet and buff, and the
females of which are dusky, streaked
with brownish. These are the Red
Winged Blackbird, which are common
migrants and breeders and which in
some instances remain over winter
with us. They prefer the marshy
ground of swamps and sloughs and
usually construct their nests in such
localities, fastening them to reeds, cat
tails, grasses or branches OF nearby
trees at low elevation. Generally,
they breed in colonies OF greater or
less size, although isolated pairs are
often found After the breeding sea-
son is over, hoy ever, the birds gather
in large fiocks and forage for food,
and it is at such times that the dam

States biological survey that for the
entire year the vegetable matter con-
sumed by the RedWings amounts to
the animal matter constitutes the re-
naming quarter. Of the animal mat
ter, insects form the principal item,
and these are such forms as weevils
and other injurious beetles, grasshop-
pers, bugs, caterpillars. etc. almost
all of, them harmful kinds. Besides
the insects, snails and small crusta-
ceans are also taken. The main item
OF food, however, is of a vegetable ma
ture and is composed chiefly OF weed
seeds and grain. The grain is oats,
corn and wheat in the order of prefer
ence, although some barley is eaten,
and comprises only one-eighth of the
years diet. On the other hand, the
weed seeds represent more than half
of the total for the year, and together
with the insects about seven-eighthS
of that amount. In winter the birds
eat little but weed seeds and begin on
them while grain is still available and
appear in numbers.
Thus it may be seen that although
the Red-Winged Blackbirds do occa-
sion some damage on account Of their
grain eating propensities, they do a
much greater amount of good. in fact,
in the proportion Of seven to one. The
harm done is observed the more read
lily because the birds work in flocks
of such extent that the destruction is
concentrated, and so becomes notice
able. AS the swamps and sloughs are
put under cultivation these fiocks will
become broken up and the damage
they do be lessened. That solution Of
the problem, &c aeast, is likely to work
less harm than tie wholesale destruc-
ton OF the birds

but the general impression is not
