LEAST FLYCATCHER 



This species spends the winter farther north probably than any other of the 

 eastern members of its genus. It is found at this season in Yucatan and in northern 

 Mexico. Indeed, it may possibly winter occasionally in southern Texas, since 

 one was taken February 7, 1880, near the mouth of the Rio Grande. It migrates 

 earlier in the spring than the other small Flycatchers, and that it is well known 

 is attested by the large number of notes that have been contributed concerning 

 its movements.
