California Air Shipped Berries Lead 1972 Produce Trade
California air shipped berries accounted for about 30 percent of over 100 million pounds moved by air in 1972, with San Francisco International Airport handling roughly 356 million pounds of air cargo. Despite a 27 percent dip this year, fresh berries remain dominant in the April May East market. Lettuce exports show potential, but cold storage and efficient ground distribution are key hurdles.

Red-winged Blackbird: A Marshland King of North America
The red winged blackbird is a striking jet black species with scarlet shoulder patches and a yellow edge. Males defend territories in spring and defend against rivals while females nest quietly among tule and water reeds. Nesting lasts about 11 days with pale blue eggs. both adults feed young, who leave the nest at nine days. The species thrives across Central America to the Arctic, though many subspecies exist and markets once sold them as food. They mainly eat grains and seeds but will take insects during outbreaks, and are protected by law today.
