GREENLAND WHEATEAR. 



765a. Sa&icola cenanthe leucorrhoa. 6 inches. 



The Wheatear is' a European bird, but this sub-species 

 is found in Greenland and occasionally in Labrador. 



Their habits are about the same as those of the Blue- 

 bird. They feed upon insects, larvae, fruits, berries and 

 some seeds. They are essentially ground birds and are 

 usually found in rocky country. 



Nest. Their nests are made of grasses, hair or any 

 rubbish obtainable, and are hidden in the innermost 

 recesses of crevices among rocks, in deserted Bank 

 Swallow nests or even in rabbit burrows. 



The four to six eggs are pale greenish blue, a little 

 brighter in shade than those of the Bluebird. They 

 measure .94 x .60.
