To most of us the Olive-sided is known as a rare migrant passing
northward in May, among the later transients, and southward in
September. When traveling the bird retains the fondness of its kind for
perching on tall tree-tops, but its loud, unmistakable, whistled "come
right _here_, come right _here_" is usually heard only on the nesting
ground.

The nest is placed in coniferous trees about 25 feet up, and 3-5 white,
brown-spotted eggs are laid in June.

WOOD PEWEE

_Myiochanes virens. Case 8, Fig. 63_

Resembles the Phoebe but is smaller with
relatively longer wings and more evident
wing-bars. L. 6-1/2.

_Range._ Eastern North America; nesting from
Florida to Canada; winters in the tropics.

Washington, common S.R., Apl. 20-Oct. 12.
Ossining, common S.R., May 10-Oct. 2. Cambridge,
common T.V., not uncommon S.R., May 18-Sept. 15.
N. Ohio, abundant S.R., May 2-Sept. 27. Glen
Ellyn, fairly common S.R., May 9-Sept. 29. SE.
Minn., common S.R., May 10-Sept. 23.

In color Phoebe and Pewee are much alike and both are Flycatchers, but
the resemblance ends there. Pewee loves the solitude of the forest
rather than the sociability of the barnyard, and his pensive _pee-a-wee_
does not even suggest the business-like _pewit-phoebe_ of his
better-known cousin. Nor does his dainty lichen-covered nest saddled so
skillfully on the limb of a forest tree, recall the Phoebe's bulky
moss and mud dwelling. Finally, the Pewee's eggs, laid in May, are
wreathed with brown.

YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER

_Empidonax flaviventris. Case 8. Fig. 61_

The entire underparts, including the throat, are
unquestionably sulphur-yellow. L. 5-1/2

_Range._ Eastern North America; nests from
northern New York and northern New England
northward into Canada; winters in the tropics.
