Abstract: Olive-sided Flycatchers in southeastern Brazil.-The Olive-sided Flycatcher (Contopus borealis) winters principally in the highlands of Central America and the Andes, with occasional birds in the lowlands to Amazonian Brazil (A.O.U.Checklist of North American Birds, 6th edition, 1983, plus observations of Willis and Stotz near Manaus and of Stotz, 10 Oct. 1987, at Colonia Apiau, Roraima, 2"39' N, 61"12' W).On 27 Nov. 1983, Snow saw an Olive-sided Flycatcher at the Boractia Biological Station (23"38' S, 45' 5 1' W) of the Univ.Sfo Paulo, at 850 m elevation in the Serra do Mar of Slo Paulo State, southeastern Brazil.On 10 Nov. 1987, Stotz encountered possibly the same bird at the station, and on 5 Jan. 1991 he found a bird about 4 km away.Willis encountered a bird at a forest overlook at 800 m (24"17' S, 48"26' W) near Intervales, in cloud forests of the similar coastal range of the Serra do Paranapiacaba, on 14 Feb. and 3-4 March 1987.Parker found two separate birds at 1200 and 1400 m in Itatiaia National Park, Serra da Mantiqueira, in neighboring Rio de Janeiro State (30 Nov.-2 Dec. 1986 and 30 Nov., respectively).Willis and students encountered another bird atop a small eucalyptus line in a forested valley just east of the Serra do Mar on 16 March 1990 (Ubatuba Agricultural Experiment Station, 100 m, 23"25' S, 45008' W).On 18 March, yet another was located in the next valley, 5 km northeast, atop cecropias of a cocoa plantation with forest canopy (Fazenda Capricomio, 100 m, 23"23' S, 45"05' W).Like the other birds encountered, these called "pip pip pip" frequently and sallied conspicuously from the tops of exposed branches at forest edges or over mountain escarpments.SIo Paulo and Rio de Janeiro have been well studied ornithologically since the early 1900s.Collectors such as von Ihering, the Garbes, the Limas, Pinto, Sick, A. Olalla, and E.
