BIRD CLUB
At Saturday's Bird Club meeting
'the Russet-backed Thru* was studied
and Neal Howard read the article
describing this Bird, ft is seven and
one fourth inches long. The upper
parts are olive brown; the under
parts, white and buff with spots of
olive-brt>wn; the wings are long and
pointed; legs long and slender.
The nest is made in buahec, saplings,
or thickets, usually within a
few feet of the ground and near
water. It is a large compact structure
of twigs, baric strips, moSses,
grass, and leaves. The eggs number
four or five and are light greenish
blue, spatted with light brawn, chiefly
around the large end.
The song of this bind is best late
in the day after all other birds have
ceased singing. It comes just before
dusk. William L. Flnley said
it was the vesper hymn he loved
better than all others.
This Thrush is an efficient destroyer
of inleeta and during its sojourn
in the fruit region a little more
than half of its food consists oi harmful
insects. In an investigation of its
diet the animal portion waa insects,
spiders, earthworms, sowbugs, beetles,
caterpillars, ants, Wasps, and grass
hoppers. In its inflect diet the Russet-backed
Thrush is almost wholly
beneficial as it eats but few pedaciou8
beetles or other useful insects.
As young Thrushes are fed almost
exclusively on inserts and as they eat
almost continuously from morning
till night, they must'destroy an enormous
number of these harmful creal
tures. The Russeb-backed Thrush
must be considered as one of the
positively beneficial btatfci*_
