White-Breasted Nuthatch Sitta carolineniii Length, six inches. White below, above gray, with a black head. Range: Resident in the I'nited States, southern Canada, and Mexico. Habits and economic status: This bird might readily be mistaken by a careless observer for a small wood pecker, but Its note, an oft-repeated yank, is very unwoodpeckerlike, and. 1 unlike either woodpeckers or creep ers, it climbs downward as easily as upward and seems to set the laws of gravity at defiance. The name was suggested by the habit of wedging nuts, especially beechnuts, in the crev ices of bark so as to break'them open by blows from the sharp, strong bill The nuthatcii gets its living from th i trunks and branches of trees, i.v«r which it creeps from daylight to dark. j Insects and spiders constitute a little more than 5b per cent of its food. The largest items of these are beetles, moths, and caterpillars, with ants and wasps The animal food is ail in the j bird s favor except a few ladybird beetles. More than naif of the vege table food consists of mast. i. e., acorns and other nuts or large seeds. One-tenth of the food ts grain, most ly waste com.
