Russell Backed Thrush
(HyIocichla ustuIata)

Length. seven and one-fourth inches
Among thrushes having the top OF
head and tail nearly the same color
as the back, this one is distinguished
by its tawny eyesring and cheeks. The
Pacific coast subspecies is russell
brown above, while the other subspe-
cies is the olive-backed thrush. The
remarks below apply to the species as
a whole.
Range: Breeds in the forested parts
of Alaska and Canada and south to
California, Colorado, Michigan, New
York. West Virginia (mountains). and
Maine; winters from Mexico to South
America.
Habits and economic status: This
is one of small group of thrushes
the members of which are by many
ranked first among American song
birds. The several members resem-
bic one another in size, plumage, and
habits. While this thrush is very fond
of fruit, its partially for the neighbor-

Catbird
(DumetelIa carolinersis)

Length, about nine inches. The
slaty gray plumage and black cap and
tail are distinctive.
Range: Breeds throughout the
United States west to New Mexico,
Utah, Oregon, and Washington, and
in southern Canada winters from the
gulf states to Panama.
Habits and economic status: In
many localities the catbird is one of
the commonest birds. Tangled
growths are it's favorite nesting places
and retreats, but berry patches and
ornamental shrubhery are not dis
dained. Hence the bird is a familiar
dooryard visitor. The bird has fine
song, unfortunately marred by occa-
sional cat calls. With habits similar
to those of the mocking bird and a
song almost as varied, the catbird has
never secured a similar place in pop

California Jaw

Length IL inches. Distinguished
from other jays within it's range by

brown patch on the back.
Range: Resident in California
north to southern Washington, and
south to southern Lower California.
Habits and economic status: This
jay has the same general traits of
character as the eastern blue jay. He
is the same noisy, rollicking fellow
and occupies a corresponding position
in bird society. Robbing the nests Of
smaller birds is a favorite pastime,
and he is persistent spy upon dcmes-
tic fowls and well knows the meaning
of the cackle of hen Not only does
he steal eggs but he kills young chicks.
The insect food of this jay constitutes
about one-tenth Of it's annual susten-
ance. The inclusion of grasshoppers

such is not the case. The adults eat
fruit, but the nestlings, as usual, are
fed mostly upon insects. Beetles con-
stitute the largest item of animal food,
and ants come next. Many caterpil-
lars also are eaten. The great bulk
of vegetable food consists of fruit. of
which two-fifths is of cultivated vari-
eties Where these birds live in or
near gardens or orchards, they may
do considerable damage, but they are
too valuable as insect destroyers to
be killed if the fruit can be protected
in any other way.

ular favor. Half of its food consists
of fruit, and the cultivated crops most
often injured are cherries, strawber-
ries. raspberries, and blackberries.
Beetles, ants, crickets, and grasshop-
pers are the most important element
of it's animal food. The bird is known
to attack a few pests. as cutworms,
leaf beetles, clover-root curculic, and
the periodical cicada, but the good it
does in this way probably does not
pay for the fruit it steals The ex-
tent to which it should be protected
may perhaps be left to the individual
cultivator; that is, it should be made
lawful to destroy catbirds that are do
ing manifest damage to crops.

hoppers, constitute the larger part of
its food, though beetles, moths, cater
pillars, ants, wasps, and few spiders
are also taken. While the butcher
bird occasionally catches small birds,
its principal vertebrate food is small
mammals, as field mice, shrews, and
moles. and when possible it obtains
lizards. 1t habitually impales its sur
plus prey on a thorn, sharp twig, or

the birds food in it's favor But the
remainder of its animal diet includes
altogether too large a proportion of
beneficial birds and their eggs, and
in this respect it appears to be worse
than its eastern relative, the blue Jay.
While its vegetable food is composed
largely of mast, at times it's liking
for cultivated fruit and grain makes
it a most unwelcome visitor to the
orchard and farm. In conclusion il
may be said that over much of it's
range this jay is too abundant for
the best interests of agriculture and
horticulture.
