Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nests and Eggs of Indian Birds, Vol. 2: With Four Portraits Mr. Brooks informs us that this Flycatcher is abundant in the pine-woods of Cashmere, about 7000 feet elevation, where it breeds. Mr. Hodgson figures the nest, placed on the stump end of a broad broken branch - a very massive, rather shallow pad, with a cup-shaped cavity composed of moss and lichens and lined with black moss-roots. The egg is figured as above described. The nest is about 4 inches across and less than 2 high, and the cavity is a little less than inch in diameter. Major Wardlaw Ramsay says, writing of this Species in Afghan istan Breeding in May and June. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
