Grasshoppers 
Beetles, bugs, ants, ticks, lice, snails, spider 
foods, 1925. 6: 500 crops and gizzards. No pine mast. Instead ate sweet 
gm (liquidambar styraciflua) from frost (Nov.15) till late December. During

this period took to low woods and gullies. After that took to acorns and

legumes. Acorns eaten whole and also fragments dropped by Jays and squirrels.

Acorns up to 60% of meals. With legumes were main feed thru March with gradual

increase of green leaves. Concentration of coveys occurred around low spots

with live oak acorns in March* 
Summer Foods: Pairs in captivity ate up to 4 plums per day (late May, 
early June); also 9 - 10 blackberries per day (later)* Mulberries again pre-

ferred to other fruit, even by 2-day chicks,  huckleberries and blackberries

eaten. 
Droppings showed that in summer fruit seeds passed th. whole while in 
winter they are zround ly and utilized as food. (Presumably this is regulated

by grit).
