16. Certhia familiaris rufa (Barlr.) Ridgw. Brown Creeper. — Tol- 

 erably common summer resident, breeding about the lakes. Have seen 

 it in February, but do not think it winters here with any kind of regularity.

 I can ascertain, to the borders of the wilderness, where it breeds.

 the mossy logs and brush heaps in April, and follows the wanderings of

 bird of the entire Adirondack region.
