Most easily dis tinguished from the similarly colored loggerhead shrike by the absence of a conspicuous black stripe through the eye. Range: Resident from southern Mexico north to California, Wyoming, Iowa, Ohio and Maryland; casual far ther north. Habits and economic status: Be cause of its incomparable medleys and imitative powers, the mocking bird is the most renowned singer of the west ern hemisphere. Even in confinement it is a masterly performer, and former ly thousands were trapped and sold for cage birds, but this reprehensible practice has been largely stopped by protective laws. It is not surprising, therefore, that the mocking bird should receive protection principally because of its ability as a songster and its preference for the vicinity of dwellings Its place in the affections of the South is similar to that occu pied by the robin in the North. It is well that this is true, for the bird ap pears not to earn protection from a strictly economic standpoint. About half of its diet consists of fruit, and many cultivated varieties are at tacked, such as oranges, grapes, figs, strawberries, blackberries, and rasp berries Somewhat less than a fourth of the food is animal matter, and grasshoppers are the largest single ele ment. The bird is fond of cotton worms, and is known to feed also on the chinch bug, rice weevil, and boll worm. It is unfortunate that it does not feed on injurious insects to an ex tent sufficient to offset its depreda tions on fruit.
