8o BIRDS OF THE PUBLIC GARDEN 



cept on one occasion, has remained but one 

 day. The exception was a Pewee in 1900, 

 which remained five days, and sang each 

 day, from May 18 to 22, and then disap- 

 peared. In 1908 two Wood Pewees visited 

 the Garden on May 24, one in song and the 

 other not. They were not subsequently 

 seen or heard. 



28. YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER 



Empidonax flaviventris 



In two seasons only has a Yellow-bellied 

 Flycatcher been recorded, namely, in 1905 

 and 1908. In the former season two birds 

 appeared on May 18, and while one dis- 

 appeared at once, the other, presumably 

 the same bird, remained five days. Again, 

 on May 27 of the same year a bird of this 

 species was seen. 



In 1908 one visited the Garden on May 

 24, for that day only. In these several in- 

 stances the birds were silent. "
