56. Nuttallornis borealis (SwhIus.). Olive- 
sided Flycatcher. One record of a bird 
probably taken in Brookline by J. J. 
Audubon, from whose interesting ac- 
count I quote verl)atim. "On the 8th 
of August, 1832, while walking out from 
Boston towards the country-^eat of the 
Honourable Thomas H.jPerkins, along 
with my friend Nuttall, we were sud- 
denly saluted with the note of this bird. 
As I'hud never seen it, I leaped over the 
fence beside u«, and caution.>ly ap- 
proached the tree in which a male was 
perched and singing. Desiring my 
friend to go in search of a gun, I 
watched the motions of the devoted 
bird. He returned with a large musket, 
a cow's horn filled with powder, and a 
handful of shot nearly as large as peas; 
but, just as I commenced charging this 
curious piece, I discovered that it was 
flintless! We were nearly a mile dis- 
tant from Mr. Perkins' house, but as we 
were resolved to have the bird, we pro- 
ceeded to it with all despatch, procured 
a gun, and returned to the tree, found 
the Flycatcher, examined its flight and 
manners for awhile, and at length shot 
it. As the representative of a species, I 
made a drawing of this individual, 
which you will find copied in the plate 
indicated above." (From ''The Birdsof 
America," Vol. I, p. 213, plate 58.)
