The Orange-crown is a rare fall migrant in the North Atlantic States,
but common in Florida and southern Georgia in the winter. It frequents
the upper branches of trees though, as with most members of its genus,
it nests on the ground. Its call-note is a sharp, characteristic _chip_;
its song is said to resemble that of the Chipping Sparrow.
