Meves writes that the young birds he obtained near Onega had been fed on the blue berries of 
Lonicera sibirica. Myr. Collett (tom. cit. p. 33) writes that the stomachs of individuals obtained 
by him in the summer (July 1872) were filled almost exclusively with the entire or dismembered 
bodies of Tipulidae, of species of Ctenophora. One of the males, shot in a juniper bush, had 
one or two of the berries in his gullet. 
The specimens figured are an adult male in spring plumage and a young bird lately out of 
the nest, both being in my collection.
