PERCHING BIRDS 
688. Painted Redstart. Setophaga picta. 
Range. — Southern New Mexico 
and Arizona, southward. 
This beautiful Redstart is black 
with a large white patch on the 
wing coverts, white outer tail 
feathers, and with the belly and 
middle of the breast bright red. 
These active birds, which have all the habits and 
mannerisms of the common species, nest on the 
ground in thickets or shrubbery usually near 
water, and generally conceal their homes under 
overhanging stones or stumps; the nests are 
made of fine shreds of bark and grasses, lined 
with hair; the eggs are white, dotted with red- 
dish brown; size .65 x .48. Data. — Chiricahua 
Mts., Arizona, May 31, 1900. Nest of fine bark 
and grass under a small bush on the ground. 
689. Red-bellied Redstart. Setophaga 
mini at a. 
Range. — Mexico; admitted to our avifauna on 
the authority of Giraud as having occurred in 
Texas. 
This species is similar to the last, but has a 
chestnut crown patch, more red on the under- 
parts, and less white on the tail; it is not prob- 
able that their nesting habits or eggs differ from 
the last.
