Habits and economic status: The
prairies of the upper Mississippi val
ley, with their numerous sloughs and
ponds, furnish ideal nesting places for
redwings. and consequently this re-
gion has become the great breeding
ground for the species. These prairies
pour forth the vast focks that play
havoc with grain fields. East Of the
Appalachian range, marshes on the
shores OF lakes. rivers. and estuaries
are the only available breeding sites
and. as these are comparatively few
and small, the species is much less
abundant than in the West. Red
wings are eminently gregarious. liv-
ing in focks and breeding in COM
munities. The food Of the redwing
consists of 81 per cent animal matter
and 73 per cent vegetable. Insects con-
