True to its name, the I'itie \Vnrlilt-r is rarely found outside of pine 

 woods. In tin- south, where pineries may extend over half a State, it 

 is an abundant and gQMnUy distributed lird : in the more northern 

 part of its range it is, from force of ciri iinistaiices, a local species, 

 occurring only with the pines. 



In the winter it is found in small Hocks, which may contain a few 

 Myrtle or I'alm WurMers. and at this season it lives on or near the 

 ground. In the summer it is inori- nrlioreal. Its habit of clin^in^ t<> 

 the trunk of a tree, or hopping along a limb while searching for insects 

 in crevices in the bark, has given it the misnomer of Tine Creeping 

 Warl.ler. 



Its song is a clear, sweet trill. Southern birds, in my experience, 

 have more musical voices, and their notes suggest tlmsc of the Field 

 Sparrow, while the song of northern birds has more the quality of the 

 Chipping Sparrow's.
