Myiarchus crinitus (Linnaeus). Crested Flycatcher 
A rather uncommon summer resident, but a breeding species 
when found. Particularly common during the summer of 1913. 
Dr. F. C. Rogers of Oconomowoc says that “in July, 1913, a pair 
nested in a little house in a tree near my home.” Another nest 
was found in a deserted woodpecker’s hole near Golden Lake. 
Sayornis phoebe (Latham). Phoebe 
A common summer resident found breeding under all suitable 
bridges. Arrives early and leaves early, and is seldom met after 
the second week of September. 
Nuttallomis borealis (Swainson). Olive-Sided Flycatcher 
A more or less uncommon migrant, found during the latter half

Empidonax minimus (W. M. and S. F. Baird.) Least Flycatcher 
A common summer resident, nesting in suitable places. Found 
commonly around Dutchman’s Lake. 
Otocoris alpestris alpestris (Linnaeus). Horned Lark 
An uncommon winter visitant, found on the wind swept fields 
from November to about the middle of March. Rather erratic 
in occurrence; some years the bird is apparently entirely absent. 
Not nearly as common as the next. 
Otocoris alpestris praticola Henshaw. Prairie Horned Lark 
The common resident “shore lark” throughout the open field 
region of the county. They begin breeding very early, and a
