They never remove far from the lofty mountains, unlcfs they be compelled to retreat by the abundance of fnow : accordingly, they are hardly feen in the low country. They are generally on the ground, and run fwifily, fcudding along like the quail and the partridge, and not hopping as the other fauvettes do. They alfo fit upon ftones, but feldom perch on treco: they wander in fmall bodies, and recall each other by a feeble cry like that of the wagtail. When the cold is moderate, they live in the fields; but when it becomes more fevere, they refort to the moid meadows where there is mofs, and are then feen running on the ice. Their lall: refource ia the tepid fprinqs and brooks: they are oftenfound in fuch fituations when the perfon is hunting for fnipcs. They are not fhy ; yet are they difficult to kill, elpecially on the wing. TIIKI i ^ fr -^ 1 '^ CO in t ;.
