2(i Joint Bulletin 2 



We have been much interested, too, in watching the nuthatches. 

 After their appetites were satisfied, they would fly away with big pieces 

 of suet and nuts in their bills. How deftly they would secrete the food 

 under the bark of neighboring maples and elms, but, do their best, 

 the hidden food would show and after a while the trunks looked spotted 

 as result of the birds' efforts. Presently a grey squirrel found the stores 

 and had a fine meal.
