Regulus Calendula —Licht. 
Ruby-crowned Wren. 
This bird is distributed all over the country. 
It arrives early in May in Iowa, and returns in 
September. It remains during the winter among 
the cedars along the seashore of New Jersey. 
I have found it in company with the Golden- 
crested Wren and Black-capped Tit. 
Regulus Satrapa—Licht. 
Golden-crested Wren. 
This bird remains with us during the winter, 
and keeps in the thick cedars in New Jersey. It 
is found in lowa early in May, but does not 
breed there. I have found the eggs above 
Minnesota, in the British settlements. 
Anthus Ludowcianus —Licht. 
Tit-lark. 
This bird is very abundant in Spring and Fall, 
and mostly frequents the ploughed ground on 
old fields. I have found it very plenty in Virginia 
and in Iowa. 
Mirotilta Varia —I Teil. 
Black and White Creeper. 
I have met with this bird as far south as Florida, 
and west to Minnesota, where it breeds. I have 
found it breeding in New Jersey. Its nest is 
made in holes of trees. Eggs five in number.
