Some More About Birds RAVEN—The raven is so rare that it is hardly worthy of consideration from the economic standpoint. From the historical and literary standpoint the speecies is exceedingly interestng and important. It is know that the chief food of the raven is dead fish. crayfish, snakes and refuse. Hun- dreds of pellets examined near nests in Huntington county showed very little evidence which would inate the species. CROW—The' crow has widely discussed that probably pretty well aware of the status of the bird in Pennsylvania. There is no doubt that in the nesting season the crow destroys a great many eggs and young birds, as well as the young of certain game mam- mals. The point is that if other food is easily available crows do not as a rule destroy valuable gird and animal life. frogs and. snakes, snails, various in- sects and a good deal of vegetable matter. During the winter when crows gather in great numbers and when food may be scarce they doubt- less do a great deal of damage and they must be shot or poisoned if the game birds and mammals are to sur- vive. Probably no one should want to see the crow exterminated but this species has so ably solved its proh- lems of existence and is so adaptive that three-fourths of the crows may be killed without endangering the standing of the species. incrim- been so everyone is 500 Seats Come Early and Avoid the Rush!
