Common haunting the depths of the forests where 
they threaded the piles of fallen tree trunks like mice. 
At the time of my arrival (July 20) the young were all 
on vring, and although many were scarcely feathered they 
were often found apart from their parents. The males 
sang only occasionally at daybreak (Slen House, N.H.). 
About tho Profile House, N.H, the woods were liter- 
ally filled with them. They occurred sometimes singly, 
sometimes in large families of young b'^irely able to fly, 
frequently accompanying the mixed flocks of Warblers. 
Tho young uttered a shrill cricket-like chee-ee-eep and 
rattling tick- t ick-tick . Hoard the last male singing
