Native name Capiton. The same name is applied to all species of 
the genus and frequently to others of the small dull colored Flycatchers. 
Common from the delta region up at least to the first falls, frequenting 
the sparsely wooded savannas. The nesting season about Caicara occurs 
in April. The nest is usually saddled well out toward the tip of a limb 
of a scrub oak and rarely over 1.83 m. or 2.44 m. from the ground, 
often not over 91.5 cm. It resembles the nest of our wood-pewee, 
but with fewer lichens ornamenting the outside. It is a neat, com- 
pact little cup lined with feathers. A nest containing two slightly 
incubated eggs, collected at Quiribana de Caicara, April 17th (No. 
10,766 Coll. G. K. and Stella M. Cherrie), was placed near the end of a 
limb in a scrub oak about 1.5 m. from the ground. Both parents re- 
mained very near, while the nest was being collected, chirping uneasily. 
The nest measures about 7 cm. outside diameter and 5.5 cm. inside, 
by 1.7 cm. in depth. The two handsome eggs are rather short ovate in 
form, of a rich cream color, marked with irregular spots of reddish brown 
overlying pale mauve-colored markings. In one of the eggs the mark- 
ings are arranged chiefly in an irregular band about the larger end, in 
the other the markings are confined chiefly on the larger end itself. The 
measurements are 22.5 .\ 17 and 21 by 16.5 mm.
