ing migration.
"All birds feed upon insects To
some extent, and some kinds upon
them exclusively. Their food habits
vary according to the kind of bird
age. season and food supply.

Certain ones have undesirable habits
but often times are balanced by
their desirable qualities.
Improvement Of farm land tends
to favor the increase Of insect pests
and to Interfere with the nesting
Of the field birds. More attention
should be given to the protection Of
birds in order that they may rem

of crops. Much can be done through
the preservation of small tracts Of
land lin natural conditions, trek
planting and nest box provisions"
