1898. JUDD, SYLVESTER D. The Food of Shrikes. United 

 States Division of Biological Survey, Bulletin 9, pages 

 15-26. 



General notes on North American shrikes, followed by an 

 account of the examination of one hundred and fifty-five stom- 

 achs of both species. So far as could be determined from the 

 stomachs of sixty-seven butcher-birds the food closely resembled 

 that of the sparrow-hawk. About twenty-six per cent, of the 

 food consisted of mice, thirty-four per cent, of small birds, in- 

 cluding many English sparrows, consisting almost wholly of 

 seed-eating species, and the remainder of insects, mostly grass- 

 hoppers. The food of the loggerhead differs in the much 

 smaller percentage of mice and birds, about twenty-four per 

 cent. The insects eaten consist largely of Orthoptera, and in the 

 spring of beetles, many of them predaceous species. Both the 

 butcher-bird and loggerhead eat, to some extent, caterpillars.
