16. Certhia familiaris rufa (Bartr.) Ridgw. Brown Creeper. — Tol- 
erably common summer resident, breeding about the lakes. Have seen 
it in February, but do not think it winters here with any kind of regularity. 
17. Troglodytes aedon, Vieillot . House Wren. — Confined, so far 
I can ascertain, to the borders of the wilderness, where it breeds. 
18. Anorthura troglodytes hyemalis ( Vieillot') Coues. Winter 
Wren. — Breeds abundantly. Comes when the melting snow uncovers 
the mossy logs and brush heaps in April, and follows the wanderings of 
the mixed flocks in autumn till late in October. A very characteristic 
bird of the entire Adirondack region. 
19. Anthus ludovicianus ( Gmelin ) Licht. Titlark. — Occurs
