Myiochanes virens. Wood Pewee. — A common resident. 

 Noted in July, 1917, and May 17, 1918, at Birchwood Beach; 

 at Warren Woods May 7, 1919, and many times later; and 

 May 9, 1920, at Warren Dunes. On June 11 a completed nest 

 was found on a big butternut limb about twenty feet above the 

 dune at the north pond. 



Empidonax Haviventris. Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. — Bar- 

 rows"* says : "In Michigan this bird occurs sparingly during 

 the migrations." This has also been the writer's experience 

 until 1918, when for a few days after May 20 it was very 

 common among the willow trees along the brook at Birch- 

 wood Beach. At Warren Woods in 19 19 it was not so com- 

 mon, but after May 20 several were seen each day in the 

 flood-plain, feeding in the lower tree levels about the button- 

 bush ponds. In 1920 it was quite common at Warren Dunes 

 about the edges of the north pond, where four were seen as 

 late as June i. 



Empidonax virescens. Acadian Flycatcher. — This species is 

 considered a rare summer resident at Ann Arbor, but we found 

 it common in Berrien County in the thick forests along the 

 streams. From July till September 10, 1917, we saw many at 

 Birchwood Beach, where, in 19 18, it was first noted May 7. 

 At Warren Woods it was common from May 20 to June i, 

 1919. Unlike the preceding species, it preferred the lower 

 tree levels of the heavy climax forest. It was also abundant 

 at Warren Woods about the north pond and wooded ravines 

 after May 10, 1920. 



Empidonax minimus. Least Flycatcher. — This is a rather 

 rare summer resident of the region, but a few were noted in 



Michigan Bird Life, 1912, 402.
