Robert Woore THE kookaburra's MOCKING, FIENDISH LAUGHTER MIGHT BE DIRECTED AT ITSELF "Laughing jackass" the absurdly shaped bird is called by residents and travelers in its native Australian bush. This forest-dwelling kingfisher, hke its water-loving relatives, "fishes" from a stump or tree limb. Unfishlike, however, is its "catch, " which consists of snakes and insects, mice, rats, and sometimes small birds (page 808). that rings in my imagination as I write these lines, though it has been fifteen years since I have heard these calls. The nest is a compact cup placed on a tree limb, often at some height from the ground. The eggs usually number three, and are creamy buff spotted with brown and lilac, often in a wreath about the larger end. Coues's flycatcher ranges in the moun- tains from central Arizona and southwest- ern New Mexico south into Nayarit, Mexico. Olive-sided Flycatcher {Niittallornis mesoleucus) This is a solitary bird, ordinarily found perched in the top of some tall tree, often on a dead limb where it has a clear and un- obstructed view. On its breeding grounds in the north and in the western mountains it frequents pine and spruce forests where its loud calls attract instant attention (Color Plate VIII). In migration I have seen it in orchards, or in roadside trees, but always on a com- manding perch. Larger than our other flycatchers excepting the kingbirds, it is known instantly by the heavy gray band on either side and by the cottony fluff of white feathers that shows above the wing on the lower back. In middle latitudes of our country I have watched long and eagerly for it, and the rare times I have found a solitary bird have been marked days indeed. In some parts of the western mountains it is common. The nest is a shallow cup of moss, pine needles, or other vegetable fibers, some- times low, and
