Parus Uropygeo Luteo: The Yellow-rump

This is a Creeper, and seems to be of the Tit-kind. The most distinguish'd Part of this Bird is its Rump, which is yellow. All the rest of the Feathers are brown, having a faint Tincture of Green. It runs about the Bodies of Trees, and feeds on Infects, which it pecks from the Crevise of the Bark. The Hen differs little from the Cock in the Colour of its Feathers. They are found in Virginia.
