Nests of Least Flycatchers.

  On June 16 I found the nest of a Least Flycatcher
in our orchard built in the normal way in the fork of
a rather stout twig (as thick as my finger) and not
closely surrounded by leaves. The bird was sitting & I
did not disturb her. Three days later I found another
nest in a very unusual situation - about 25 ft. above 
the ground at the extremity of a long slender (not thicker than a goose quill) branch of
an apple tree in a cluster of leaves so dense that
I could scarce see the nest from anywhere on the ground.
My attention was called to it by seeing the bird enter
it. She did not come out again while I was there.
On going to the first nest (the two were only about 
30 yards apart) I found it lying on the ground under
the tree. As I was looking at it a Flycatcher came
and looked at the fork where it had been very closely.
I think we have only one pair of chebecs on the place.
