There are only two established s[)e(;ies in this country, both 

 of which occur in the Colorado region. They are elegant and 

 dainty little creatures, among the very smallest of our birds 

 excepting the Hummers. They inhabit woodland, are very agile 

 and sprightly, insectivorous, migratory, and highly musical.
