uncommon bird here in winter; but rather irregular in 
its occurence ; none seen in winter of 1887-8. 
Sztta pusilla. Brown-headed Nuthatch.—Common; a

often sings while with us in the winter.

larly in winter; sometimes common and sometimes

The above list of 84 species is a tolerably complete list of the 
winter birds of this section. A few more species of ducks doubt- 
less occur here and perhaps some other birds such as the Amer- 
ican Crossbill, which has been taken here in March, or the 
White. rowed Sparrow, which is given by Prof. Atkinson as 
accidental at Raleigh; but I have given all the birds which have 
come under my observation as occurring in December, January 
and February.
