Pctrus bicolor). — A loud-voiced, conspicuously crested, gray bird of the woods, with some black on the forehead and brown on the sides. Its loudest notes are a constant repetition of peto peto, sometimes changed to de- de-de in somewhat less rii tones, producing a slight imi- tation of the notes of the chickadee. It is not at all shy, and so may be readily approached. (Crested Tit.).

Pctrus atri- capillus).—A small, black-capped, black-throated, ashy-backed bird, with the rest of the head and breast white ; under parts buffy.
