THE stripe of vivid orange on the head 

 is always visible and not sometimes 

 concealed as in the ruby-crowned. The 

 note is exceedingly thin, scarcely audible 

 at times. It is not at all shy and will often 

 allow you to get within ten feet of him. 

 The faint squeaking u zie" is usually re- 

 peated three times. 



March, 1902. Have never heard any 

 other sound from them except this zie- 

 zie-zie. 



March, 1907. Heard a song I thought 

 must be a warbler song, faint and uninter- 

 esting in character, but new. Found sev- 

 eral gold crests and one or two sang fre- 

 quently. I followed them for some time. 

 Description in Chapman's Handbook ex- 

 cellent. First time I ever heard this spe- 

 cies sing.
