No. in List. 



Rare. Migrant. An exceedingly shy bird. Breeds. 

 We have taken some in West Seneca, now occu- 

 pied by the Lackawanna Steel plant. Can now 

 be found in Tonawanda Swamp. The first week 

 in June when the Mosquitos are thick, is the time 

 they breed. The nests are near the ground in 

 clusters of ferns. See Photo, p. 542. Very difficult 

 to find, unless you know their notes, which during 

 nesting time are few. The eggs are white with 

 a sprinkling of reddish dots near the larger ends.
