that this is a bird of the tops of tall evergreens, 

 where it nests and from whence it feeds. 



This manner of life will enable us always to 

 recognize him, even should we not bring him 

 near through our glass. 



Mr. Herman Bohlman, of Portland, one of the 

 most accurate and thoroughly informed students 

 of local ornithology, says of this bird : " He can 

 always be recognized by his exceedingly loud 

 call-note, which sounds like * wee-chew,' the first 

 syllable being long drawn out and strongly ac- 

 cented." 



In color, the bird so nearly resembles the 

 Pewee that one must almost wait for the wings 

 to be spread to discover the distinguishing white 

 flank-tufts which are concealed by the wings 

 while the bird is at rest. Another difference is 

 in the white central-line down the breast, which 

 is more distinct in this member of the family.
