73. A. O. U. No. 452. Myiarchus 

 crinitus, Crested Flycatcher. Quite 

 often heard and often seen . One pair 

 tried to nest in one of the downsprouts 

 of the house where we lived in Ar- 

 cadia. In May 1921 three attempts 

 were made but the occurrence of 

 rains brought their plans to naught 

 each time. On their first attempt the 

 nest was completed and egg laid. The 

 second time four eggs were laid when 

 a rain washed nest and eggs out. The 

 third trial got only as far as the com- 

 pletion of the nest when it was washed 

 out. The patient birds then gave up 

 that place as an undesirable location 

 and after a time departed from that 

 neighborhood. These birds built their 

 nests out of dried grasses and of 

 course the usual lining of snakeskin.
