Winter Feeding-Stations at Highland Park 



89 



of the Red-breasted Nuthatch in the Highland Park Pinetum, five young being 

 raised in an Audubon bird-house No. 2, placed for them on an electric wire 

 pole in the midst of thick hemlocks. The parents and young often come to the 

 suet to feed. They left the nest on June 28. This is the first record we have 

 seen of this bird breeding in Monroe County, N. Y. 



Of course, the Chickadees, White-breasted Nuthatch, Downy Woodpecker, 

 Hairy Woodpecker, Tree Sparrows, Brown Creeper, and Pheasants visited the 

 stations, feeding as reported last year. While last year the Pheasants were fed 

 in the thick portions of the evergreens, this year a station was established in 

 the edge of them, where they were watched from the Herbarium windows, as 

 many as eight being seen at a time, usually in early morning or late afternoon. 



The suet is kept out all summer and is much enjoyed by Red-breasted 

 and White-breasted Nuthatch, Catbird, Robin, Wood Thrush, and Brown 

 Thrasher.
