Is the crow a thief or a friend? Beal opened bird stomachs to find out, and reports which species earn their keep on the farm. This survey covers cuckoos, woodpeckers, the kingbird, blue jay, crow, and bobolink, weighing the insects they eat against the grain they take. Science to settle an old argument between farmer and bird.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
