Nov. 6, 
Sitta Sanadensis. 
Shot a female that had evidently incubated this 
season. (Muskegat Is land,Mass.), 
? 
Abundant in Franconia Notch, They were rather si¬ 
lent and kept company with all the smaller birds indif¬ 
ferently. Young in nesting plumage v^ore not uncorrmon: 
They were not confined to any particular kind of tree 
but seemed to prefer birches. 
Very abundant at Rye Beach, N.H, where they fre¬ 
quent groves of Pinus r lgida roving ^bout in companies 
of six or seven. They occasionally came into the or¬ 
chards and even ventured on the houses and outbuildings, 
hopping about the eaves. (Rye Beaeh,N,H.). 
Rather scarce at the Forks of the Kennebec, Maine; 
frequented the spruce forests in company with Warblers 
etc, 
More abundant than I have ever seen them• elsev/^here 
haunting yellovr pines (Marston’s Mills,Mass.) ,
