Summer Distribution of the Alder Flycatcher IN Massachusetts Haunts and Habits. When the first half of May has passed, when the new, tender, bright green leaves of spring have expanded enough to form a forest screen, when nearly all the birds have come and summer is at hand, the Alder Flycatcher appears. On some warm still morn- ing in the waning of the Maytime the bird watcher notes here and there in the edge of the woods, on a pasture fence, in a small tree by the bog or even in the orchard, a small flycatcher usually on a rather low perch, sitting quite erect, silent and watchful, occasionally dashing out in pursuit of a flying insect or flitting from one point of vantage to another. This is the Alder Flycatcher in migration — quiet, watchful and discreet. Unlike the Chebec it rarely appears until summer is at hand and if the season is late, its migration is delayed and may continue in southern New England until the 10th or 12th of June.
