Empidonaxvirescens. -Eastern United States, breedingfrom the Gulf to southern New England, andin the Mississippi Valley to Manitoba. This species is very pale below and greenishyellow on the back. They are among the latestof the migrants to reach ourborders and in theMiddle States about the lat-ter part of May, when theyare quite common. Theybuild semi-pensile nests inthe forks of bushes or over-hanging branches at heightsof from four to twenty feet, the nests beingmade of rootlets, fibres, fine grasses, etc., andpartially suspended from the branch; they arequite shallow and loosely constructed and oftenappear more like a bunch of debris deposited inthe fork by the wind than like the creation ofa bird.
