Extract

On July 6, 1946, Game Warden, J. P. C. Atwood, of Vernon, B. C., saw a number of crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos hesperis) in coniferous trees adjacent to the highway, near where the Monte Creck road meets the Vernon-Kamloops road. He shot one on the wing, killing it in the air. The bird must have landed on its crop, for on reaching it he found its beak held wide open by a mass of beetles which also filled its throat and spilled out onto the ground.
