BIRDS OF MARSHALL COUNTY 



51 



Fig. 1. — Nest and egprs of the Plioebe (^ayornis phoehc) . 



at least four or five years. On July 5, 1914, a nest was found con- 

 taining five which hatched July 8. At least two broods were raised 

 each season in this locality. 



93. Nuttallornis borealis. Olive-sided Flycatcher. A rare spring 

 migrant May 2 to May 22. It was not noted in the fall. My first 

 record for the region was a female collected May 2, 1913. It was 

 recorded on May 10, 12, 17 of that year, May 3, 1914, and May 

 22, 1915. Single birds were recorded on each of these dates except 

 the last when two were seen. 



94. Myiochanes virens. Wood Pewee. The wood pewee was 

 a locally common summer resident wherever suitable conditions 

 were found. Its earliest appearance was May 9 and the latest 

 record is September 13. The plaintive whistle of this bird was 

 regularly heard about the woodlands, but only one nest was dis- 

 covered. This one, containing three eggs, was found at Mormons 

 Ridge on June 30, 1915. It was saddled on a branch of an elm tree 

 and was about fifteen feet from the ground.
