True to its name, the Pine \Varbler is rarely found outside of pine woods. In the south, where pineries may extend over half a State, it is an abundant and generally distributed bird; in the more northern part of its range it is. from force of eireumstanees, a local species, occurring only with the pines.

In the winter it is found in small flocks, which may contain a few Myrtle or l’ahu Warblers. and at this season it lives on or near the ground. In the summer it is more arboreal. Its habit of clinging to the trunk of a tree. or hopping along a limb while searching for insects in crevices in the bark. has given it, the misnomer of Pine Creeping Warbler.

lts song is a clear. sweet trill. Southern birds. in my experience, have more niusi ‘lll Voices, and their notes suggest those of the Field Sparrow, while the song of northern birds has more the quality of the Chipping Sparrows.
