My experience with this southern Chickadee has been confined 

 largely to Florida. There I found it a comparatively shy bird, with 

 notes quite unlike those of P. atrirajnlluM. Instead of the two clear 

 whi>tles which ntrirnjiiHnx in New Jersey utters, the Florida bird re- 

 peats/our rather tremulous notes, and there is also a substantial differ- 

 ence in its other calls, one of which resembles the words my watcher 

 key, my wtitchfr key. 



Mr. C. W. Richmond writes me that at Washington ihc chick-a-dei 

 call of carol inrtuti* is higher pitched and more hurriedly given than 

 that of atrirapillus, and that the whistle consists of three notes. 



Writing from the mountains of North Carolina, where both spe- 

 cie* occur together. Mr. Itrewster says: " In one place a male of each 

 species was singing in the same tree, the low, plaintive iwee-dee-tiesee- 

 dee of the P. cnrnlinmxu, contrasting sharply with the ringing te-derry 

 of iU more northern cousin " (The Auk, vol. iii, 1886, p. 177).

This northern Chickadee is frequently found associated wilh P. 

 atricapilliu, which it resembles in habits, though its notes are quite 

 unlike the notes of that species.
