Book excerpt: Excerpt from Common Birds of Southeastern United States in Relation to Agriculture The Carolina wren (fig. 4) is resident from the Gulf of Mexico north to the southern boundaries of Iowa, Illinois, and Connecticut in the breeding season, but in winter withdraws somewhat farther south. It is a bird of the thicket and undergrowth, preferring to place its nest in holes and crannies but when necessary will build a bulky Structure in a tangle of twigs and vines. Unlike the house wren it does not ordinarily use the structures of man for nesting Sites. It is one of the few American birds that Sing throughout the year. Most birds sing, or try to, in the mating season, but the Carolina wren may be heard pour ing forth his melody of song every month. The writer's first introduction to this bird was in the month of January when he heard gushing from a thicket a song which reminded him of June instead of midwinter. This wren keeps up the reputation of the family as an insect eater, as over nine tenths of its diet consists of insects and their allies. In this investigation of its food there were examined 291 stomachs, representing every month. Their con tents were made up of per cent animal matter, nearly all insects, and per cent vegetable, chiefly seeds. A very marked uniformity in the diet is notice able, the winter season Showing almost as great a consumption of insects as the summer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Common Birds in Their Relation to Agriculture It has long been known that birds play an important part in relation to agriculture, but there seems to be a tendency to dwell on the harm they do rather than on the good. Whether a bird is injurious or beneficial depends almost entirely upon what it eats, and in the case of species which are unusually abundant or which depend in part upon the farmer's crops for subsistence the character of the food often becomes a very practical question. If crows or blackbirds are seen in numbers about cornfields, or if woodpeckers are noticed at work in an orchard, it is perhaps not surprising that they are accused of doing harm. Careful investigation, however, often shows that they are actually destroying noxious insects, and also that even those which do harm at one season may compensate for it by eating noxious species at another. Insects are eaten at all times by the majority of land birds, and during the breeding season most kinds subsist largely and rear their young exclusively on this food. When insects are unusually plentiful, they are eaten by many birds which ordinarily do not touch them. Even birds of prey resort to this diet, and when insects are more easily obtained than other fare, the smaller hawks and owls live on them almost entirely. This was well illustrated during the recent plague of Rocky Mountain locusts in the Western States, when it was found that locusts were eaten by nearly every bird in the region, and that they formed almost the entire food of a large majority of the species. Within certain limits, birds feed upon the kind of food that is most accessible. Thus, as a rule, insectivorous birds eat the insects that are most easily obtained, provided they do not have some peculiarly disagreeable property. It is not probable that a bird habitually passes by one kind of insect to look for another which is more appetizing, and there seems little evidence in support of the theory that the selection of food is restricted to any particular species of insect, for it is evident that a bird eats those which by its own method of seeking are most easily obtained.

There are some 40 species, with nearly as many subspecies, in North America. Not more than half a dozen forms are generally known in any one locality. All the species are more or less migratory, but so widely are they distributed that there is probably no part of the country where some can not be found throughout the year.

The indigo bird is the brightest colored sparrow that visits the north, but one can hardly believe that the sprightly dandy, clad in his rich blue suit, is the mate of the inconspicuous brown bird that seeks assiduously to conceal herself in the leafy cover, as though a bit ashamed of the contrast between her working suit and the holiday garb of her spouse. The indigo is a frequenter of sprout land, of brushy thickets and of Open woodland. And the male is fond of singing his cheerful lay from the topmost twig of a tall shrub or tree, as though challenging the world to produce his equal. For such a dainty bird, the nest is a singularly inartistic structure and very carelessly built. It is placed in the crotch of some low leafy bush and is not at all difficult to find.
