food consists of cultivated fruits, or those which may 

 be cultivated, such as strawberries, raspberries, and 

 blackberries; but while we debit the bird with the 

 whole of this, it is probable and in the eastern and 

 well- wooded part of the country almost certain that a 

 large part is obtained from wild vines. The rest of the 

 vegetable matter is mostly wild fruit, such as cherries, 

 dogwood, sour gum, elderberries, greenbrier, spice- 

 berries, black alder, sumac, and poison ivy.
