The metallic quanks of a pair of nuthatches call attention to the upper branches of a big white oak. A chickadee and one of the nuthatches see a tempting morsel at the same time. A spiteful peck from nuthatch leaves him master of the morsel and the field. But the chickadee does not care.
He pulled a fat white grub from the birch with his long, slender bill and ate it with evident relish. Then he uttered his soft "quank, quank" and gently flew to another tree. Sometimes these "quank, quanks" come in a loud and rapid series and may easily be heard a quarter of a mile on a still day. A flock of juncos were busy among the dead leaves and the snow.
