Empidonax flaviventris. YrELLOW-BELLIED FiycatcHer. Fairly 
common. A nest found with one egg on June 21, 1916, on the 24th, con- 
tained three eggs, on which the bird was sitting quite closely. It was built 
on the ground in the side of a large tussock of moss on which grew a scant 
covering of low sheep laurel bushes. The nesting site was an extensive, 
fairly open tamarack and spruce bog, and the tussock selected for the nest 
was a few yards from the edge of the thick spruce forest surrounding the 
bog. The nest was quite open and was a firmly built structure well cupped, 
composed of a thick foundation of dead fine grass with a few sphagnum 
moss fronds, well lined with fine dried grasses and some species of fine 
black rootlets. The three eggs were fresh and measured .69 X .52, .65 X 
52, .66 X 52. The nest measured, outside diameter 3 inches, inside 
diameter 14 inches; outside depth, 2 inches, inside depth 1} inches. The 
eggs are typical flycatcher eggs and cannot be mistaken for those of any of 
the small ground nesting warblers, and are of a white ground color, sparsely 
spotted, chiefly at the larger end, with fine reddish brown spots.
