Nests are of wood chips in cavities excavated about 13 feet high in elm, honey locust, and ash. =Downy Woodpecker=: _Dendrocopos pubescens_ (Linnaeus).--This resident is common in woodland throughout the State. _D. p. pubescens_ (Linnaeus) occurs in southeastern Kansas, and _D. p. medianus_ (Swainson) in the remainder. _Breeding schedule._--Forty-one records of breeding span the period April 11 to June 10 (Fig. 5); the modal date of egg-laying is May 5. _Number of eggs._--Clutch-size is about 4 eggs. Nests are of wood chips in cavities excavated about 20 feet high in willow, honey locust, ash, apple, and pear. =Eastern Kingbird=: _Tyrannus tyrannus_ (Linnaeus).--This summer resident is common throughout the east; it is local in the west but there maintains conspicuous numbers in favorable places, such as riparian woodland; preferred habitat in eastern sectors is typically in woodland edge. Temporal occurrence is indicated in Table 13. _Breeding season._--Sixty-three dates of egg-laying span the period May 11 to July 20 (Fig. 5); the modal date for completion of clutches is June 15. Nearly 70 per cent of all eggs are laid in June. _Number of eggs._--Clutch-size is 3 eggs (3.3, 2-3; 10). Clutches are probably larger than the average in May and smaller in June and July. Nests are placed in crotches, terminal forks, and some on tops of limbs, about 16 feet high, in elm, sycamore, honey locust, willow, oak, apple, and red cedar. =Western Kingbird=: _Tyrannus verticalis_ Say.--This summer resident is common in the west, but is local and less abundant in the east. Preferred habitat is in woodland edge, open country with scattered trees, and in towns. Temporal occurrence is indicated in Table 13. _Breeding schedule._--The 124 dates of egg-laying span the period May 11 to July 31 (Fig. 5); the modal date for egg-laying is June 15. More than 70 per cent of all clutches are laid in June. _Number of eggs._--Clutch-size is 4 eggs (3.6, 3-4; 8). Nests are placed in crotches, lateral forks, or on horizontal limbs, about 26 feet high, in cottonwood, elm, osage orange, hackberry, honey locust, mulberry, oak, and on power poles. =Scissor-tailed Flycatcher=: _Muscivora forficata_ (Gmelin).--This summer resident is common in central and southern Kansas; it is rare to absent in the northwestern sector, and is local in the northeast. Preferred habitat is in open country with scattered trees. Temporal occurrence is indicated in Table 13.
