In examples so conspicuous the movement is obvious enough; but in the case of rarer species, for instance, the olive-sided flycatcher, who can tell whether, when first observed, it was new to naturalists merely, or to this part of the country, or to the earth generally?
"Keep your course," he said sharply; "why don't you attend to your steering!" Then he turned to the commander: "I beg your pardon, sir; you were saying? "I was saying that you ought to remember such an incident as a sergeant of marines deserting from the Flycatcher when she was down here five years ago." "I do remember it. The man's name was Charles Parker." "Is that the man?"
But, we must bear in mind that a bird that behaves thus is not necessarily a flycatcher. Other birds, as, for example, king-crows and bee-eaters, have discovered how excellent a way this is of securing a good supply of food. The plumage of this flycatcher is pale blue blue of that peculiar shade known as verditer blue. There is a little black on the head.
Hemichelidon ferruginea. The ferruginous flycatcher. Cyornis rubeculoides. The blue-throated flycatcher. The cock is a blue bird with a red breast. There is some black on the cheeks and in the wings. The hen is a brown bird tinged with red on the breast. This species, which is smaller than a sparrow, keeps mainly to the lower branches of trees. Anthipes moniliger.
Of our common species the most beautiful are, perhaps, the blue yellow-back, the blue golden-wing, the Blackburnian, the black-and-yellow, the Canada flycatcher, and the redstart; with the yellow-rump, the black-throated green, the prairie warbler, the summer yellow-bird, and the Maryland yellow-throat coming not far behind.
It is curious, also, on the other hand, that not one of our eight common New England thrushes, as far as I have ever seen or heard, shows the least tendency toward any such state of lyrical exaltation. Yet the thrushes are song birds par excellence, while the phoebe, the least flycatcher, and the kingbird are not supposed to be able to sing at all.
A white woman who is dead now taught me to read and write English, and my husban' always talk English to me." "Good. Then listen to me, my girl. I am Lieutenant Carteret, of H.M.S. Spitfire that ship out there sent here with the ship's police to arrest a deserter from the Flycatcher on this station five years ago. This is the man's photograph.
Go ahead, Mr. Howlman." "This man, after deserting from the Flycatcher at a place in this group called Yasawa, managed to make his way to the island of Niuafou, where at that time I was in temporary charge of the Christian Cultivation Association's trading station. He came to the island in an open boat from the Yasawa Group, and was not suspected until quite recently."
It is a black bird, with a white eyebrow, a whitish throat, and white tips to the outer tail feathers. It is easily recognised by its cheerful song and the way in which it pirouettes among the foliage and spreads its tail into a fan. Hemichelidon sibirica. The sooty flycatcher. This is a tiny bird of dull brown hue which, as Jerdon says, has very much the aspect of a swallow.
This is Mr. Howlman, Mr. Hayling; he has a communication to make about a deserter. Now, sir, proceed." "This," said the man, producing a photograph and laying it on the table, "is a portrait of a person named George Barcom, who, I have every reason to believe, was a sergeant of marines on the Flycatcher when she was on this station five years ago." "Take charge of that photograph, Mr. Hayling.
