These odd birds are fairly common thro ighout the United States in winter.

When they reach the top of one tree, they drop to the foot of the next and continue the opera- tion. They are very tame, not seeming to comprehend that danger can befall them, for they will allow any- one to approach very closely, so that they have been caught under a hat. Song.—A very faint trill; call, a weak tseep, hardly noticeable unless very near them. Nest.—Of twigs, moss and bark, behind loose bark on dead trees or stumps, usually cot high above the ground: eggs white, specked with reddish brown. Bange—Eastern N. A., breeding from northern New England and Minnesota northward; winters throughout the TJ.
