A FEEDIXG-SITELTEIl FOR BOB-WHITES BUILT BY BOY SCOUTS HUNGARIAN PARTRIDGE Normal Food: This bird of the open field lives upon weed and grass seed almost exclusively during the winter. Since the birds inhabit only the wide treeless fields, they exist chiefly upon the seeds of plants which grow strictly in the open. Food at Shelters: Commercial scratch feed, good screenings, commercial chick feed, wheat, oats, rye, barley, broom corn, millet and sunflow^er seed. RUFFED GROUSE Normal Food: The grouse eats many different forms of w^inter food. It eats the buds and terminal twigs of birch, aspen, poplar, fire cherry, apple, hawthorn, and wild rose; occasionally it eats the buds and leaves of the hemlock. It is very fond of berries and pul))y fruits which can be found above the snow^ Among them are huckle- berries, winter-gTeen berries, fruit of the ,iack-in-the-))uli)it, redhaws, rose hips, black haws, and apples. They often eat leaves of the winter-green berry and laurel during Avinter. On the ground they occasionallv find weed seeds, small acorns and beech nuts and at the edge of the woodland the fruit of bitter-sweet, wild gra))es and Vir- ginia creeper. Grouse do not often feed upon waste grain because they do not come into the open as a rule.
