OF ILLINOIS BIRDS 



FLYCATCHERS. 

 t:f *Kingbird. S.R., N.C.S. 

 Common. 



Arkansas Kingbird. 



Accidental within our lim- 

 its, a straggler from the 

 west, and listed here on the 

 authority of Edward R. 

 Ford, who reports seeing 

 one at Willow Springs, 

 Cook County, early in June 

 of 1912, or 1913, the exact 

 date of occurrence he is 

 unable to give. Was fight- 

 ing with a common King- 

 bird at the time, and the 

 latter succeeded in driving 

 it from the field. 

 Has wandered at times as 

 far east as the Atlantic 

 coast, and there are rec- 

 ords for Mo., Iowa and 

 Wis., but this seems to be 

 its first appearance in Il- 

 linois.

 N.C.S. 



Fairly common, frequently 

 occupying bird boxes with- 

 in the settlements on pri- 

 vate grounds.
