Text Appearing Before Image:
estern races are found in the Rocky Mountainregion and Sierra Madres. Our eastern bird migratessouthward late in September, and from that date untilApril it may be found from Massachusetts to Florida. The Creeper, like a Woodpecker, never climbs headdownward, but, using his stiff, pointed tail-feathers (seeFig. 3 h) as a prop, winds rapidly up the trunks of treesin his apparently never-ending search for insects eggsand larvse hidden in crevices in the bark. If the Wrensare the most active birds, the Creeper is the most dili-gent. Except when it was stopping to secure some tid-bit, I can not remember seeing a Creeper resting. Heusually begins at the base of a tree and climbs in a seri-ous, intent way for a certain distance, and then, withouta moments pause, drops down to the bottom of the nexttree and continues his search. The Creepers only notes while with us are a thin,fine squeak; but Mr. Brewster tells us that during thenesting season he has an exquisitely tender song of fournotes.

Plate LXXII. Pages 181, 182. GOLDEN-CKOWNED KINGLET. Length, 4-05 inches. Mile, crown orange, yellow, and black: back olive-green; under parts whitish. Female, similar, but crown without orange. KUBY-CROWNED KINGLET. Length, 4-40 inches. Adult male, crown-patch ruby; back olive-green;under parts whitish. Adult female and young, similar, but no crown-patch. CHICKADEE. 179 Titmice and Nuthatches. (Family Parid^.) Comparing the Titmice with the Nuthatches, theformer may be described as short-billed birds with longtails who do not creep, the latter as long-billed birdswith short tails who do creep. The two groups are, infact, quite distinct, and by some systematists are placedin separate families. The Titmice number some seventy-five species, fourof which are found in eastern North America. The Chickadee commonest and most generally distrib- Parus atricapMus. uted is the Black-capped Chickadee, Plate LXX. which is found from Labrador to Mary- land and in the Alleghanies southward to North
