I found the nest by watching the male who every few minutes would fly to the hole with a large worm and utter a low hank, when the female would extend her bill and take the morsel from him. Once she re- fused it and he instantly swallowed it himself. When my guide began to climb the tree the female flew from the hole and disappeared, neither she nor her mate re- turning till after we had loft the spot. I saw a pair of these Nuthatches in precisely the same place last season.// one egg broken 1882. Oct.3-12 Two observed on October 9, and two more on October 14; all in the stubs along Cambridge River.
