BIRD LIFE IN WASHINGTON 
Unless you wish the nest to come to 
«/ 
grief touch neither nest or eggs. There 
is nothing else in nature so sensitive as a 
bird. 
I know a close observer of birds, who 
believes that certain species even break 
their own eggs when they have been seen 
by a human eve.

NEST OF TRAILL FLY CATCHER 
OLIVE SIDED ELY CATCHER 
This is our big Fly Catcher. He is 
o ft/ 
about the size of Cedar Waxwing. He 
loves a stumpy upland. Over this for 
half a mile, his clear and shrill “We hear” 
rings. He sits high up in a fir which is 
dead at the top and whistles “We hear.” 
He says it so loudly that we can’t help 
but hear. 
“We hear” is his song. He says “Pu 
O ft/ 
pit” when he talks.
