FOOD OF THE FLYCATCHEKS. 



fly. Flycatchers are among the comparatively small number of birds 

 expert enough to catch dragon flies on the wing, and these insects 

 are too wary to be taken sitting. Spiders are eaten to a small extent 

 in every month in the season. In June, which was the month of 

 maximum consumption, they amounted to 6.26 per cent, and for the 

 season they reached 2.11 per cent. These complete the animal food.
