Its food consists of insects, small
mammals. birds, spiders, and reptiles.
Grasshoppers, crickets, and terrestrial
beetles and caterpillars make up con-
siderably more than half its subsist-
ence, while field mice, house mice.
and shrews cover fully 25 per cent
of its annual supply. The balance OF
the food includes birds, reptiles, and
spiders. Contrary to the usual habits
of the species, some individuals during
the breeding season capture nesting
birds for food for their young and
create considerable havoc among the
songsters of the neighborhood. In ag
ricultural districts when new ground
is broken by the plow, they sometimes
become very tame, even alighting for
