POINTS ABOUT THE KINGBIRD
Examination of Stomachs of Birds
Show Fifty Per Cent, of its Food
Was Injurious Insects.
(By H. R. FLINT, University Farm. St.
Paul. Minn.)
The kingbird or bee martin Is so
well known that a description of him
is unnecessary- The biological sur
vey of the United States department
of agriculture has examined the
stomachs of 665 kingbirds from twen
ty-nine states with a view to deter
mining to just what extent the bird
feeds on bees.
The survey disclosed the fact that
only twenty-two of the stomachs con
tained honey bees and the total num
ber in those stomachs was sixty-one
bee# of which flfty-one were drones,
eight workers and two undetermined.
Fifty per cent, of the kingbird’s food
was found to consist of Injurious in
sects and the balance was practcially
all made up of insects of neutral or
slightly beneficial character. It would
seem that we may as well spare the
kingbird along with most of our other
birds.
