Sitta canadensis. 1895, Lake Umbagog. September 19. Errol Hill Pond. Catching flies and storing seeds. The Red-bellied Nuthatches were catching flying insects (which they did as adroitly as Flycatchers) and extracting seeds from the spruce cones which they took to stubs or rough-barked trees and stored away in small crevices for future use. I have seen them at the latter employment many times during the present month. 1896, Lake Umbagog. May 25. Rapid River. We found only one occupied nest, that of a Nuthatch. It was in a small stub standing several yards outside the woods in water two or three feet deep. There was a little fresh pitch just below the hole from which some of the nesting material protruded. The female was at the hole at work either on th'is material or at the pitch when we first saw the nest, but she flew to another stub soon afterwards and joined her mate there. June 7. Lake Umbagog. Nest. Later Watrous went to Rapid River to get the Nuthatch's nest which we found May 25. To his great surprise it proved to contain young 4 or 5 days old. It must have had nearly fresh eggs when we first found it.
