GREENLAND WHEATEAR
765a. Saxicola œnanthe leucorrhoa. 6 inches
The Wheatear is a European bird, but this sub-species is found in Greenland and occasionally in Labrador.
Their habits are about the same as those of the Bluebird. They feed upon insects, larvæ, fruits, berries and some seeds. They are essentially ground birds and are usually found in rocky country.
Nest.—Their nests are made of grasses, hair or any rubbish obtainable, and are hidden in the innermost recesses of crevices among rocks, in deserted Bank Swallow nests or even in rabbit burrows.
The four to six eggs are pale greenish blue, a little brighter in shade than those of the Bluebird. They measure .94 × .60
