75. [393] Dnjobates villosm ilA-an..). Hairy Woodpecker.* 



Common resident: breeds. A less familiar bird than the next, but 

 it is occasionally seen in the city. But his contact with civilization

Fig. 12. 

 Common resident; breeds. Possibly more common than the last; 

 apparently so because of its more confiding attitude towards man. Nest 

 and one egg in a rail April 23, 1903 (C. G. L.). But the nest has been 

 found with only two eggs in it as late as May 15, 19€1. 



77. [402] Sphyrapiciis variiis (Liuin.). Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.* 

 Regularly a very common migrant; occasionally a common winter 



resident. Eight were seen January 21, 1903, in a group of cedars and 

 pines less than an acre in area. It did not winter in 1901-1992. B. W. 

 Evermann gives it as a rare resident, and W. S. Blatchley says it breeds. 

 There are no later dates in spring, however, than May 1, 1903 (W. L. M.), 

 and May 5, 1885 (C. H. B.). It was observed mating April 8, 1903 (W.
