By Kapelke*s - 10;17 a. m; 
This raorning I was over KapeIke’s. It 
was snowing a little. A white-breast¬ 
ed. nuthatch was sitting humped up head 
down on the leeward side of an oak 
above the dog kennel. He acted as if 
he had come to eat fat with the 
chicadees from the bore s lying around. 
It kept giving little conversational 
notes all the time. Finally I heard 
a little note like preaw. It seemed 
to be two sylables but was uttered 
almost in one breath. I expected to 
see a bluejay but caught the nuthatch 
giving the third time. 
I wrote my notes under an overhanging 
rock which 1 named the chair.

AerosY River from Partridge Creek 
10:25 a.m. 
This morning it was warm and quite 
sunny with a little snow. Heard a 
chicadee call and I whistled phoebe to 
it. It answered me and kept "it up for 
some time following along aft er me and 
when I stopped it lit just above me. 
Then it flew across the river and soon 
another followed it.

In Voll’s k'oods - 9:25 a.m. 
This morning it was snowing a little 
though the sun shone. The whitebreasted 
nuthatches were singing quaint songs 
through their noses. One that I watched 
kept talking to himself all the time. He 
scolded me vigorously several times. His 
mate paid no attention to him.
