Excerpt from Birds of California, Vol. 1: In Relation to the Fruit Industry Before proceeding to a consideration of particular birds, one point should be specially noted in connection with the subject Of the rela tion Of birds to fruit in California. Those parts of the State where fruit is grown are not so well supplied with wild fruits on which birds feed as are the fruit-growing areas Of the Eastern States, or even Of those farther north on the Pacific coast. While California has an abundance of wild berries which serve as food for birds, they do not commonly grow near orchards and vineyards.
