Sitta canadensis. MAINE, (L. Umbagog.) 1885 Oct. 25 For the past two weeks the whole country about here has been swarming with them. It is impossible to go anywhere in the woods without hearing & seeing dozens. They are found in company with Tit-mice, Kinglets, etc., and alone or rather two or three together. They are very noisy, especially on a thick frosty morning. Perhaps their exceptional abundance is due to the fact that the spruces, balsams and pines are loaded with cones this year. The Nuttallian juncos feed on the heads of these cones as I observed this morning. One that I watched for some time.
