THE RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH. 



BY NEIL F. POSSON. 



The Red-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta canadensis) occurs in this 

 locality as a spring and fall migrant, although it may be rarely 

 seen in midwinter in company with his white-breasted cousin. It 

 is dnring the last of April or first of May that we are most apt to 

 see his pleasing little form as he tarries a few days in his south- 

 ward flight. He is by no means a plentiful species — quite the 

 contrary — for five years of earnest ornithological research did not 

 reveal a single species.
