The Pine-creeping Warbler is a winter visitant, and one of the 

 most abundant species of its family. During the month of January 

 they were to be seen everywhere among the pine woods, running 

 along the trunks of trees after the manner of the Creepers. Their 

 food appears to be almost entirely insectivorous. Although so abun-

 durino- his visit to the Bahamas. Some few birds remain throughout 

 the year, and probably breed. We procured specimens as late as 

 June 19, and observed several after that date.
