WREN-TIT.

742. Chamæa fasciata. 5 inches.

Range.—From southern California north to Oregon along the coast. These are much like the [Chickadee] in habits, only much more secluded, frequenting the deep ravines along the mountain sides, where they build their nests of twigs, fibers of vines, grasses and feathers, in bushes near the ground. Four or five greenish blue, unmarked eggs are their complement (.70 × .50).
