Wood Pewee (Contopus virens).—^Of forty-one specimens examined, eighteenhad eaten 66 small beetles, among them 7 metallic-green beetles and several lamelli-corns; fourteen, 41 dipterous insects, among them 12 large crane-flies. * * * I have seen one Wood Pewee capture and feed to its young, which had recentlyleft the nest, 41 insects in the cour.se of 41 minutes.
