Mr. Chapman says : "We camiot confuse his voice with that of any 
„ther bird, and voung ornithologists should give him a vote of thanks 
for his clear enunciation." The least flycatcher, and other members of the 
flycatcher family also, has the habit of oerching at some point of vantage, 
and then darting out into the air for every passing insect. They are 
friendly and sociable and bird lovers have induced them to build their 
pretty, compact nests in trees very near the house. It is a pleasure to 
note that these useful little birds are increasing in number throughout the 
state.
