Ford, and Julian Boyce continued the study of this bird with observations, which included his usefulness as an insect eater. He feeds on caterpillar* grasshoppers, cutworms, army worms, flies, wasps, alfalfa and cotton boll weevils. This bird is protected by the Federal regulations and works earnestly as a "paying guest" An affectionate couple are these birds, the male remaining near his mate and singing to her, and also providing food for her and the young. The nest is cleverly concealed on the ground under a tuft of grass or clump of weeds. It was interesting to watch from the window the cedar wakings, devouring the holly berries nearby, and Max Melton read a selection regarding these birds, which are soft cinnamon in color with a lighter shade breast, which goes into yellow underneath. There is a yellow band across the end of its tail and each secondary feather in the wing ends in a red tip like a drop of ruby sealing wax, which gives the bird its name. The creast is a familar marking. They fly in military precision. In observance of George Washing's birthday the members viewed a scrap book containing interesting bits of information regarding the first President, and studied a chart of the seals and flags of the States and the succeeding presidents.
