About this book
Food Habits of the Thrushes of the United States is by F. E. L. Beal. The text says the thrushes are largely insectivorous, and also are fond of spiders, myriapods, sowbugs, snails, and angleworms. The text says the vegetable portion of the thrushes' diet consists mostly of berries and other small fruits.
The text says earthworms themselves are rather rarely found in stomachs, although some birds, as the robin, eat them freely. The text notes the remains of the famous seventeen-year locust in one stomach, rather large game for so small a bird. Thrushes of the genus Hylocichla show a very pronounced taste for ants. The text says Lepidoptera (caterpillars) were third in order of abundance (8.81 per cent).
