124 THE RED-BREASTED FLYCATCHER. 



"The nest of the Red-breasted Flycatcher is 

 a very handsome little structure, almost entirely 

 formed of green moss, with here and there a few 

 scraps of lichen and a downy feather or two. The 

 inside is sparingly lined with fine dry grass and 

 hairs. The nest-cavity measures about two inches 

 in diameter and one and a half inch in depth." 



The eggs are like those of the Spotted Fly- 

 catcher and not unlike those of a Robin, being 

 pale bluish-green with reddish-brown and greyish- 

 brown spots and markings. *
