66 THE WEST VIRGINIA 
90. OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER. 
Contopus borealis (Swains.). 
Transient visitant; rare. Observed two Sept. 30 on the 
Little Kanawha River, both of which were captured. Con- 
tents of the stomachs consisted of black crickets (Acheta nt- 
era), mosquitoes (Culex teniorhynchus), and red ants (/or- 
mica sanguinea). 
91. WOOD PEWEE. 
Contopus virens (Linn.). 
_ summer resident, common. The Wood Pewee frequents 
dense forests, both evergreen and deciduous, where it finds its 
insect food abundant. Among other insects on which it preys 
may be mentioned the larve of the butterflies Grapta interroga- 
tionts and Argynnis cybele, tent caterpillars ( Cliszocampa 
americana), house fly (JZusca domestica) and red ant ( Formica 
sanguinea). 
92. YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER. 
Empidonax flaviventris Baird. 
This species, which at a distince resembles the Wood Pewee, 
was not observed, I saw a stuffed specimen in Charleston 
that had been shot near that place in the spring of £887. 
98. ACADIAN FLYCATCHER. 
Empidonax acadieus (Gmel.). 
Summer resident; tolerably common, ‘This species is some- 
what shy and retiring, frequenting heavy timber near streams 
and small water courses. Stomachs of specimens secured con- 
tained traces of Diptera. 
94. LBAST HLYCATCHER. 
Empidonax minimus Baird. 
Transient visitant; probably breeds. I found it common 
along the borders of the smail streams and in small groves and 
orchards. Stomachs of specimens secured contained traces of 
beetles.
