Myiarchus crinitus (452). Crested Flycatcher. 
Common summer resident from April 29 (’93, Gray), to Sep-

and September 21 (94). Eggs are recorded from June 6 (’91),

Sayornis phoebe (456). Phebe. 
Common from March 18 (’94) to October 17 (’94), quite a num- 
ber of single birds have been observed during the remainder of 
the year. This year (’95), however, they have been absent; a few 
were observed between March 31 and May 18, after which none 
were seen until September 15. 
Extreme nesting dates are April 8 (’94), a nest ready for eggs

“Has probably been with us all winter, was seen December 8 
and 26, and January 18, 19, 20 and 21.” 
Contopus borealis (459). Olive-sided Flycatcher. 
Rare migrant. “The claim of this species to a place in our 
list (of the District of Columbia) rests upon Mr. Ridgway’s obser- 
vation near Fall’s Church, Va., where several birds were noticed in 
September,’81. Further west in Virginia, the species cannot be 
considered very rare, individuals having been observed for 3 or 4 
successive summers by one of the authors, and Dr. A. K. Fisher 
has taken a specimen in the Bull Run mountains” (H. M. Smith 
and Wm. Palmer, Auk, v, 148). 
“Judge Libhart states that this species (probably 15 or 20 
years ago) was found as a breeder in Lancaster County, where, 
however, in recent years it has been observed by Dr. Treichler 
only as a rare spring and fall migrant” (Birds Pa., 194).
