WHITE-BREASTED NUTHATCH 



April 15, 18Q4 

 (Tennessee) 



1HAVE never yet seen these birds in 

 Elmhurst ( 1 895 ) . I wonder why they 

 are not here. The red-breasted I see every 

 autumn. I enjoyed my one and only sight 

 of this bird when I saw him in the Tennes- 

 see woods. He is too marked a bird to 

 be mistaken for any other, even on a first 

 acquaintance. In 1896, in January, I saw 

 these birds in Lake Forest. 



April, i8q6. They are abundant here.
