Troglodytes Fyematis —Viell, 
Winter Wren. 
It is not very common. It is found from 
Pennsylvania to Iowa, and keeps in wood-piles 
and rocky places. It breeds in Minnesota, north 
of St. Paul. One nest of this bird was found 
along the Schuylkill River. The nest resembles 
that of the European one, both in structure and 
size. 
Certhia Americana.—fonap. 
American Creeper. 
I have found this bird as far west as Iowa, and 
also in Maine. It is notcommon. Those found 
in Maine are much larger than those in Penn- 
sylvania, and in the West the bill is much longer 
and more curved.

Sitta Canadensis — Linn.

also found it breeding there in holes and trees.
