I've heard of this...it is apparently not that uncommon. I'll look for some
data regarding who, what, where, when...etc. :)

At my friends' home this evening in Genesee, I couldn't believe it, but to a
hole in the trunk of a Ponderosa Pine, there were both a pair of pygmy
nuthatches and a pair of western bluebirds bringing food. The nuthatches were
much more in attendance, but they would defer when the bluebirds would show up,
and each bluebird would take a turn apparently disgorging food to nestlings in
the bole.
Could this be possible? I watched for at least an hour and a half, but I still
can't quite believe it.
