Nuttallornis borealis (Swainson) 



Olive-sided Flycatcher 



Observed in some numbers over most of the range, migrating 

 at tlie lower levels in .May and June, and later on found breed- 

 ing at the higher points visited. Tn Hemet Valley, a1 Ken- 

 worthy and Vandeventer Flat, they were seen migrating up to 

 dune '2. On the north slopes of the mountains, at Cabezon in 

 May. and at Snow ('reek the firsl week in June, they were daily 

 seen passing through. Birds observed at Fuller's Mill toward 

 the end of June, on Santa Rosa Peak at the end of June, in 

 Strawberry Valley, Tahquitz Valley, and Round Valley, in July, 

 were undoubtedly nesting. In Strawberry Valley a nest was 

 found on July !•. placed in a small clump of mistletoe near the 

 end of a drooping cedar bough, about twenty feet above the 

 hillside. It was not looked into. Imt probably contained young, 

 as one of the parents arrived with insects in its hill. 



In Augusl they were seen about Hemet Lake, evidently begin- 

 ning to wander from the breeding grounds, and also on Thomas 

 .Mountain. None was encountered at any lime along the deserl 

 base of the mountains, at Dos Palmos or in Palm ('anon, though 

 they mighl be expected to occur there during the migrations.

 (no. l'470i. and Strawberry Valley, one (no. 2585
