Probable Breeding of the Red-bellied Nuthatch near Boston. 



requested by Mr. F. H. Mosher to report that he saw in June, 1899, 

 ford, Mass., a Red-bellied Nuthatch {Sitta canadensis) busily eng 

 catching and carrying away larvae, presumably to its young. Mr, 

 failed, however, to locate the supposed nest, for the Nuthatch, as 

 tracing it through the woods, was set upon by a Wood Pewee anc 

 out of sight. 



On other occasions during the summer of 1899, this species was o 

 in this locality by Mr. Mosher.— J. A. Farley, Maiden, Mass.
