A regular and fairly common winter visitor, both in the highlands 

 and in the lowlands, with habits the same here as in its summer home 

 in the north, except that the call-note " pe-wee " is rarely given. The 

 specimens above listed were all shot at dates ranging from April 11 

 to 29. and are in fine fresh plumage, more suffused with yellow below 

 than Florida examples taken at about the same time. Mr. Smith sent 

 in one specimen shot at the remarkably late date of May 10.

The Olive-sided Flycatcher is a regular but not common winter 

 visitor in the highlands, not descending below 2,000 feet, nor going 

 above 7,000 feet, so far as known. Simons got one at Minca on March 

 13, 1879; Mr. Brown took one at La Concepcion March 8. 1899; and 

 Mr. Smith also sent in one from San Lorenzo, taken at the remarkably 

 late date of May 13 — a time when the bulk of the species is well on its 

 northward way. Dates for the above specimens are April 11, 1912, 

 March 22, 1913, and March 5, 1914. The March birds show moult of 

 the body-plumage in progress, while in all three the wings and tail are 

 fresh and unworn.
