bird of paffage, appears 
in the fpring, breeds with us, and retires in 
Auguft. It builds its neft on the fides of trees, 
towards the middle: Morton fays in the corners 
of walls where {piders weave their webs. We have 
feen them followed by four or five young, but 
never faw their eggs. When the young can fly 
the old ones withdraw with them into thick 
woods, where they frolick among the top branch- 
es; dropping from the boughs frequently quite 
perpendicular on the flies that {port beneath, and 
rife again in the fame direction. It will alfo take 
its {tand on the top of fome ftake or poft, from 
whence it fprings forth on its prey, returning ftill 
to the fame fland for many times together. They
