YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER
463. Empidonax flaviventris. 5½ inches
These strange little Flycatchers are found in swamps such as those usually frequented by [Olive-sided Flycatchers] and [Parula Warblers]. They are one of the few of the family to nest on the ground or very close to it. Their homes are made in the moss-covered mounds or stumps found in these swamps.
Range.—N. A. east of the Plains north to Labrador, breeding from northern U. S. northward.
