fish cabins, stables, and under bridges. I have 
found it very plenty in Iowa and farther west. 
Contopus Virens.— Cad. 
Wood Pewee. 
I have found this bird distributed in most of 
the localities that I have visited. It is very 
plenty, and builds its nest on the limbs of trees. 
The nest resembles a bunch of moss, and is much 
like the nest of a humming bird. Eggs four in 
number.

Traill’s Flycatcher. 
I have found it from the Atlantic to Iowa, 
but not very plenty. Itis not a rare bird. It 
breeds on trees. Eggs four in number.

Least Flycatcher. 
This bird is very common all over the United 
States. I find it very plenty in Iowa, where it 
breeds in great numbers. Eggs four and five.

Green-crested Flycatcher. 
This bird is very common from New Jersey to 
Iowa. I have found it in Georgia and South 
Carolina. Breeds as far west as Minnesota.
