Its searchfor this is usually accompanied by nuichscratching and scattering of leaves; whence itscommon name. Its call note is a sharp soundlike the smacking of lips, which is useful inidentifying this long-tailed, thicket-h.iuntingbird, whicli does not nnich relish close scrutiny.The brown thr.isher is not so fond of fruit asthe c.itbird and mocker, but devours a nuichlarger percentage of animal food. licetlesform one-half of the animal food, grasshop-pers and crickets one-fifth, caterpillars, includ-ing cutworms, somewhat less than one-tifth.and bugs, spiders, and millepeds comprise mostof the remainder. B>y its destruction of theseand other insects, which constitute more than60 per cent of its food, the thrasher muchmore than compensates for that portion (aboutone-tenth) of its diet derived from cultivatedcrops.
