Dear Sir:- I am taking the liberty to write and ask if you can 
give me any information in regard to the nesting of the Olive-sided Fly- 
catcher. There are several pairs in this vicinity and I am very anx- 
ious to get a clue and think that I may be able to locate some of them. 
I am also anxious to learn something about the habits of the Blackburn- 
ian and the Black-throated Blue Warblers, both of which are common and 
must be nesting now, The authorities that I have differ a good deal in 
their descriptions and I am somewhat puzzled. 
It may interest you to know that I have found the following birds 
breeding this season,viz: Acadian Owl, American Goshawk, Broad-winged 
Hawk, (7 sets), Solitary Vireo, Magnolia, Myrtle, Nashville and Canada 
Warbiers. The last named I have just found for the first time and now that 
I know where to look think I may find quite often as they are very abun- 
dant. Awaiting your reply, I remain, 
Sincerely yours, 
AY. eee |
