Notes on Birds op Wakulla County^ Florida 11 



A regular but not an abundant winter visitor. October 18, 

 1914, March 26, 1914. 

 128. Phlceotomus pileatus pileatus — Pileated Woodpecker. 



Resident. Found quite abundantly in the heavy timbered 

 tracts in particular, along the larger streams. At times they come 

 out into the open pine woods on long slow wing-beats in a level 

 flight-line in marked contrast to the movements of the other mem- 

 bers of this family. Local names, " Good God " and " Wood Cady." 

 127. Melanerpes erythrocephaliis — Red-headed Woodpecker. 



Resident. Close along the coast we seldom see this bird, but 

 as soon as one reaches the higher, dry sand lands they become nu-- 

 merous. At St. Marks they are rare; at Wakulla, six miles in- 

 land, they are numerous. 



130. Ccnturus corolimis — Red-bellied Woodpecker. 



About St. Marks this is our most abundant Woodpecker. In 

 the higher lands it gives way to the Red-head. Local name. 

 " Cham chack." 



131. Colaptes auratus auratits — Flicker. 



A regular but not abundant resident. June 1, 1917, young In 

 nest almost ready for flight. 



132. Colaptes auratus luteus — Northern Flicker. 



Flickers become nvimerous with us in September and so re- 

 main until March. The influx are probably of this form mainly. 

 Dr. Oberholser identified specimens taken March 17, 1917, and 

 March 10, 1919, as C. a. luteus. 



133. Antrostomus carolinrnsis — Chuck-will's-widow. 



Our " Whip-poor-will " makes himself known at nightfall very 

 soon after his arrival from the South, but after July they are sel- 

 dom heard. They frequent the low woods and in the vicinity of 

 streams and ponds. March 27, 1914, September 24, 1915. Two 

 fresh eggs April 16, 1914. 



134. Antrostomus vocifcrus vociferus — Whip-poor-will. 

 Probably occur more frequently during the cooler season than 



might be surmised as they are silent while with us and frequent 

 low, thickly grown woods. My records extend only from Christ- 

 mas day, 1916, until February 2, 1917. 



135. Chordeilrs virginianus chapmani — Florida Nighthawk. 

 From early April until the nights grow cool these valuable 



gleaners are quite numerous with us. Flocking after the nesting 

 season they are frequently to be seen making a regular round in 

 search of food for an hour or more preceding dark and they are 

 a-wing in the early morning until almost sunup. Local name, 

 " Bull Bat." May 6, 1914, eggs nearly hatching. April 9, 1914, Oc- 

 tober 3, 1917.
