Text Appearing Before Image:
here they roost inimmense flocks amid the tall marsh grass (Spartina glabra), from whichtheir cries are heard until darkness comes on. The food of this species consists principally of those small crabs calledfiddlers, of which millions are found along the margins of the rivers andmud-flats, as well as of large insects of all kinds, ground-worms, and seeds,especially grain. They frequently seize on shrimps, and other aquaticanimals of a similar nature, that have been detained at low water on thebanks of racoon oysters, a kind of shell-fish so named under the idea thatthey are eaten by the racoon. In autumn, while the rice is yet in the stack,they commit considerable mischief by feeding on the grain, although not somuch as when it is in a juicy state, when the planters are obliged to employpersons to chase them from the fields. About the beginning of February, the males have already mated, and manybegin their nest at this early season. It is then that you ought to see the N°44. PL 220.
