As William Brewster and I were rowing on Concord River 
to-day we saw the Red-winged Blackbirds attacking and driving 
the Bronzed Crackles which were in very large numbers along 
our course. They raay have been hunting for Red-wings eggs, 
but what we specially noted was that they were engaged in pick' 
ing worms from the leaves of the trees that lined the banks. 
They were eitherfeating them or flying away with the grubs in 
their bills. We saw several young birds with the old toes.
