It is apparent that where moderately abundant, the red-wing does more good than harm, but in sections where it becomes excessively abundant a reduction in its numbers is justifiable. BOBOLINK, The bobolink, ricebird, or reedbird** (fig. 15) is a common summer resident of the United States, north of about latitude 40°, and from New England west- ward to the Great Plains, wintering beyond our southern border. In New England there are few birds about which so much romance clusters as this rollicking songster, naturally associated with sunny June meadows; but in the South there are none on whose head so many maledictions have been heaped on account of its fondness for rice. During its sojourn In the Northern States it feeds mainly upon insects and seeds of useless plants; but while rearing its young, insects constitute its chief food, and almost the exclu- sive diet of its brood. After the young are able to fly, the whole fam- ily gathers into a small flock and begins to live almost entirely upon vegetable food. This consists for the most part of weed seeds, since in the North these birds do not ap- pear to attack grain to any great extent. They eat a few oats, but their stomachs do not reveal a great quan- tity of this or any other grain. As the season advances they gather into larger flocks and move southward, until by the end of August nearly all have left their breeding grounds.

In the Middle States, during their southward migration, they are com- monly known as reedbirds, and, becoming very fat, are treated as game. Formerly, when the low marshy shores of the Carolinas and some of the more southern States were devoted to rice culture the ^obolmks made great havoc both upon the sprouting rice in spri
