The Pine-creeping Warbler is a winter visitant, and one of the 
most abundant species of its family. During the month of January 
they were to be seen everywhere among the pine woods, running 
along the trunks of trees after the manner of the Creepers. Their 
food appears to be almost entirely insectivorous. Although so abun- 
dant at the present time, Dr. Bryant procured but one specimen 
during his visit to the Bahamas. Some few birds remain throughout 
the year, and probably breed. We procured specimens as late as 
J une 1 9, and observed several after that date.
