FLYCATCHERS. 



Flycatchers have big heads and shoulders, and long, 

 flat bills, slightly hooked at the end. Their manner of 

 feeding is hawklike: from a prominent perch, which 

 gives a free, wide outlook, one will dash out after a 

 passing insect, seize it with a click of the hooked bill, 

 and return to his stand in readiness for the next 

 comer. 



As Flycatchers live entirely on insects, they go 

 south early in the fall. We have nesting here the 

 Phoebe, Kingbird, Wood Pewee, the Acadian and 

 Great Crested Flycatchers, and in migration may see 

 the Alder, Yellow-bellied, and the Least — also called 

 Chebec.
