tive enough to induce the bird to al
ter its diet. The grain taken in win
ter and spring probably consists of
waste kernels from the stubble. The
stomachs do not indicate that the
bird pulls sprouting grain; but the
wheat eaten in July and August and
the corn eaten in fall are probably
from fields of standing grain. The
total amount OF grain consumed dur
ing the year constitutes As per cent
of the food, but it is safe to say that
at least half is waste grain and con-
sequently of no value. Although the
crow blackbird eats few cherries
and blackberries in their season, and
in the fall some wild fruit. it apparent
