the brush-lined streams or through the woods in winter. there is no more 
cheery song to be heard than that of the Carolina Wren. It matters not how 
deep the snow may be or how cold the air, if there be no wind, the loud, 
clear, bell-like. ringing notes of this active little bird are sure to be heard. 
217. THRYOMANES BEWICKI BEWICKI (Audubon). BEWICK’S WREN. (719) 
A rather rare summer resident in Vigo and Monroe counties ; not noted in 
Carroll. 
A male collected at Sand Hill, Vigo County, April 5, 1890. the first of the 
season. One seen in my yard in Terre Haute two days later. 
218. TROGLODYTES AEDON AEDON Vieillot. HOUSE WREN. (721) 
One of our most sociable little summer residents: trusting us by coming 
close about our houses, building its nest in any suitable box or hole any- 
where about the house; perhaps driving away the bluebirds. 
Carroll County: On the home farm near Burlington one of the outbuild- 
ings (a woodshed) was built of logs. one of which was hollow, and in this 
hollow a pair of wrens built their nest every year for many years. Another 
pair built annually in a clothesline box that stood in the kitchen yard; while 
still another pair built their nest in a hole (air shaft) in the large chimney 
built in the north end of the house. Noted at Camden April 28, 1884; com- 
mon the next day. Noted April 21, 1885, also on April 26 and 28. On June 
25, 1905, a pair observed building in the clothesline box at the old home, 
but for some reason they abandoned it: perhaps the pestiferous English 
sparrow was the cause. 
Vigo County: Quite common, especially about farmhouses. 
Monroe County: Common summer resident, but probably less so than the 
3ewick’s Wren. 
219. NANNUS HIEMALIS HIEMALIS (Vieillot). WINTER WREN. (722) 
A rare resident. doubtless breeding. though we never found its nest. On 
April 9, 1885, collected a female in Deer Creek bottom below the Porter mill. 
west of Camden. Others noted at various times in the winter in the thick 
underbrush about fallen trees and rotten logs, along the streams. Fre- 
quently seen at such times and in such situations in each of tne three 
counties. 
Next to the Carolina Wren this diminutive bit of fluffy feathers is one of 
our most cheerful winter residents.
