Stomach Contents of an Oregon Ruffed Grouse

Online Full Text

The Oregon Ruffed Grouse (Bonusa umbellus sabini) is a rare game bird in California. So little is known of its habits in this state, or of its food, that an enumeration of the results of the stomach examination of a specimen obtained by H. S. Prescott at Requa, Del Norte County, California, January 14, 1916, seems worth while. Identification of the seeds and leaves was made by Miss Anna M. Lute of the United States Department of Agriculture. The crop and stomach contained: Berries and seeds of madroila (Arbutus menziesii); leaves of thimble berry (Rubus parviflorus); stems and leaves of dogwood (Cornus); unidentified pieces of stem.

Berkeley, California, June 20, 1917;
