  At the Forks where the Dead and the Swift Cambridge
Rivers unite their waters is always a favorite haunt
for birds. During the fifteen or twenty minutes we spent
there this afternoon (about 5 o'clock) I noted the
following species, most of which were heard singing near
at hand in or about a small clearing in the forest
where some bark peelers built a camp several years ago.
1. Robin - one singing
2. Veery - one singing
3. Chickadee - one calling
4. Canada Nuthatch - one calling
5. Cape May Warbler - one singing

 Birds noted
about old
logging camp
at forks
Cambridge River
  The Red-bellied Nuthatch heard
near this camp was calling in
a peculiar manner, uttering a
he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he-he
all these notes being alike and 
uttered very rapidly. The general 
effect was not unlike that of
the scolding chatter of a House Wren.
I think I have heard this
before but it is unusual. I
wonder if it corresponds to
the woot-woot-wot of Sitta
carolinensis & is, in effect, a
song.
