Cinclidze : Ouzel. — The solitary species of 
ouzel found with us inhabits the mountain streams 
of the far west. 
Sylvhle : True Warblers. — Are pre-emi- 
nently birds of the woodlands, but occasionally the 
kinglets, notably the golden-crowned, will wander 
into orchards during mild days in winter. 
Cham^id^e : Wrentits. — The only species 
found in the United States inhabits the sage- 
brush in the far southwest. 
Parhle : Titmice. — Are also found in the 
woods or thickets, but some species wander into 
the orchards during winter. 
SittiDjE : Nuthatches. — Are birds of the 
woodlands as a rule, but the white and red-bellied 
nuthatches wander considerably in autumn, while 
the brown-headed seldom if ever leave the piny 
woods of the south. 
Troglodytid^e : Wrens. —The creeper-wrens 
are found among the cacti of the far southwest, 
while the rock-wrens occur among thickets in a 
similar region. The true wrens are found in 
thickets, often in the neighborhood of dwellings, 
in which they frequently build, while the two 
marsh wrens occur on both salt and fresh water 
marshes throughout the country.
