CRESTED FLYCATCHER 



The Crested Flycatcher is one of tlie slower spring migrants. It winters from 

 Guatemala to northern South America and though it reaches northern Florida 

 in late March, it moves northward so slowly that it is the middle of Ma}- by the 

 time it has traversed the thousand miles thence to southern Maine.
