E. L. Beal is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This informative work focuses on the dietary preferences and feeding behaviors of several species of thrushes found in the United States. Beal, serving as an Assistant Biologist with the Bureau of Biological Survey, conducted thorough research, which is encapsulated within this bulletin. The book meticulously examines the food habits of six key thrush species, including the wood thrush and the hermit thrush, detailing their consumption of both animal and vegetable matter. The analysis highlights the primary dietary components, noting a strong preference for insects, spiders, and various fruits, particularly wild berries. Beal emphasizes the ecological role of these birds, observing their feeding habits in relation to agricultural impacts, the types of pests they consume, and the fruits they favor, thus providing valuable insights into their contribution to the ecosystem and their interactions with human agriculture.
