BIRD LIFE IN WASHINGTON 
71 
among them, we shall know very nearly 
where to look for each species, especially 
during the nesting season. 
By the middle of April, the Western 
Fly Catcher arrives. He has a single 
whistle as clear and penetrating as the 
call note of Russet-backed Thrush. 
It is not quite so round and full and 
it is more slowly given. A damp shaded, 
woodland patch is a favorite place for 
him.

NEST OF WESTERN FLY CATCHER 
TRAILL FLY CATCHER 
Traill Fly Catcher is a late comer. His 
sleepy “Weetyou” or “Peet-ya” tell us of 
his arrivel. We may find his nest late in 
c/ 
July in a thicket of willows and wild rose 
bushes. You might easily mistake it for 
a Warbler nest. Never name a bird home 
unless you see the bird upon it.
