Dennoch war er großmüsig aufgeregt und würde alle paar Sekunden nach draußen schauen, um zu sehen, ob sich die Nuthatches näherten – sein Kronenpflaster zeigte hell. Endlich kam der BöseNuthatch an den Rand des Lochs, wobei der Specht einen erfolglosen Versuch unternahm, seinen Gegner zu picken, danach mit einem Ansturm heraus zu fliegen und den Nuthatch für einige Distanz auf dem Flügel zu jagen. Er hatte dann einen kleinen Ast gesessen, aber er saß sehr unbeholfen und balancierte sich mit seinem Schwanz.Sobald ihre Gegner besiegt waren, A

At last the maleNuthatch came to the edge of the hole, whereat the Woodpecker made anunsuccessful attempt to peck his opponent, afterward flying out with a rush, and chasing the Nuthatch for some distance on the wing. He then alightedon a small branch, but sat very awkwardly, balancing himself with his tail.As soon as their adversaries had been conquered, a new enemy came up.This time the foes were larger than the Woodpeckers, but they did notshow so much fight as the Nuthatches. Four Canada Jays perched in aneighboring tree. The boldest then flew into the tree, and slowly hoppedup toward the hole. When he was a foot from it, the male Woodpeckerand a Hermit Thrush flew at him so fiercely, and chased him so persistently, that he and his companions did not return..

The nests are generallyplaced in the central part of asmall shrubby tree, ironwoods be-ing preferred in this section. Grosbeaks w
