There v?as heavy flight of Canada Nuthatches this autiunn. 

 Just when they reached the Coiicord region I do not know but 

 they were abundant there during the v/hole of niy stay. I saw 

 thei.1 in orchards and about houses on several occasions but 

 oftenest and in the greatest n^oiUQers in pitch or white pine 

 woods never more than three or four together although they 

 frequently associated with Chickadees, Kinglets and Brown 

 Creepers. I repeatedly observed theia extracting seeds from 

 heiiilock cones and carrying theia to the trunks of rough-barked 

 deciduous trees where they tainped them firmly into cracks or 

 crevices rarely depositing more than a single seed in any one 

 place .
