May 8 Univ. Calif. Campus, Alameda Co, Calif.-
Among the several foods put in
last Friday afternoon, tho (today is Monday)
fresh corn is most complete gone,
not a kernel remaining on the five
ears put in. The romaine has also
been heavily used, the birds having
specialized in eating out the center
of the heads leaving the coarse outer
leaves alone. The lettuce
seems to be completely gone while
the cabbage looks little used and
the spinach appears to have been
hardly touched.
