*205- Sayornis phcebe (Lath.}. PHCEBE. (456.) Eastern 

 North America, breeding from South Carolina to Newfoundland 

 and Manitoba, and wintering from North Carolina to Cuba and 

 Mexico. In this vicinity it is a common summer resident, arriving 

 about March 20, and leaving early in November. 



206. Contopus borealis (Swains.}. OLIVE-SIDED FLYCAT- 

 CHER. (459.) Breeds from Massachusetts and Minnesota north- 

 ward, and winters in Central and South America. With us it 

 occurs as a migrant, passing north in May, when it is apparently 

 rare, and returning in the latter part of August when it is locally 

 not uncommon. 



*207. Contopus virens (Linn.}. WOOD PEWEE. (461.) Breeds 

 from Florida to Newfoundland, and winters in Central America. It 

 is a common summer resident of our woods, arriving about May 15 

 and remaining until the latter part of September. 



*208. Empidonax flaviventris Baird. YELLOW-BELLIEI> 

 FLYCATCHER. (463.) Breeds from Berkshire County, Mass., to 

 Labrador, and winters in Central America. It is here a rather 

 rare spring, and not uncommon fall migrant, arriving in May and 

 returning from its northern home early in August. 



*20p. Empidonax acadicus (Gmel.}. ACADIAN FLYCATCHER, 

 (465.) Eastern United States, breeding from Florida to southern 

 Connecticut and Manitoba, and wintering in Central America. A 

 common summer resident of the Lower Hudson River Valley as 

 far north as Sing Sing. On Long Island it apparently breeds only 

 on the north shore, while there are but two records for Connecti- 

 cut, an adult taken at Suffield, June 24, 1874 (Merriam, Birds 

 Conn., p. 58), and a nest with young at Greenwich, June 25, 1893 

 (Voorhees, Auk, XI, 1894, p. 259). (See Group, Gallery, between 

 Cases I and J.) 



210. Empidonax pusillus traillii (Aud.} TRAILL'S FLY- 

 CATCHER. (466^.) Eastern North America, breeding from southern 

 Illinois and Connecticut north to New Brunswick and Manitoba, 

 and wintering in Central America. With us Traill's Flycatcher is 

 a rather rare migrant and probably a rare summer resident. A 

 nest and eggs, not fully identified, but with little doubt that of this 

 species, was found by Mr. C. L Brownell at Nyack. 



*2H. Empidonax minimus Baird. LEAST FLYCATCHER. 

 (467.) Eastern United States, breeding from Pennsylvania to
