THE PIED FLYCATCHER. 



winged and other insects for the females, 

 in singing, and chasing each other away 

 from particular spheres of influence. 



The Pied Flycatcher, like its commoner 

 relative, the Spotted Flycatcher, is a 

 migratory bird, arriving in this country 

 in April and leaving again in September 

 and October. 



It builds its nest generally in holes in 

 trees, but sometimes in old walls. The 

 structure is composed of drj^ grass, dead 

 leaves, and moss, with an inner lining of 

 hair and feathers.
