Abstract

Adult male and female Red-breasted Flycatchers (Ficedula parva), and a fledgeling considered to be of the same species were observed at Nishioka Park in Sapporo City, Hokkaido, on July 5, 1997. The fledgeling appeared to have very recently left the nest. The adult female was holding a lepidopterous larva in her beak, and looking out for intruders without any sign of leaving the fledgeling. These facts suggest that breeding had probaby occurred, and this would be the first documented breeding record of this species in Japan.
