I have never heard this bird utter the querulous note assigned to it by Audubon and Nuttall, but have often heard the Ruby Crown give this strain. In spring, having similar habits and diet with the Ruby Crowns, they frequent the same hunting-grounds, and are seen hanging to the extremities of twigs, head down- wards, and sometimes fluttering in the air in front of them, seizing small flies, " and often exposing the golden feathers Digitized by VjOOQIC THE GOLDEN-CRESTED WREN. 181 of their head,... which are opened and shut with great adroit- ness." This species may possibly breed in Maine, having been seen there in summer ; but I do not remember of its having been found in the breeding season south of that State.
