  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;In his extensive reviews of allopreening, Harrison (1965, 1969) did not record this behavior for the Sittidae, nor did Kilham (1968, 1972, 1973) mention observing this behavior in either White-breasted (&lt;i&gt;Sitta carolinensis&lt;/i&gt;) or Red-breasted &lt;i&gt;(S. canadensis&lt;/i&gt;) nuthatches. Norris (1958: 187), however, mentioned the occurrence of allopreening in Brown-headed Nuthatches (&lt;i&gt;S. pusilia&lt;/i&gt;), in passing. Here we relate our observations of reciprocal allopreening between two Brown-headed Nuthatches. &lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
