214 A LIST OF BIRDS. 



their specific or sub-specific identity, but they are pre- 

 sumed to have been D. villosus, not D. villosus auduhonii. 



13. Downy Woodpecker. Dryobates pubescens. — A 

 single bird was heard (not seen) on Walden's Ridge, — a 

 noticeable reversal of the usual relative commonness of 

 this species and the preceding. 



14. Red-cockaded Woodpecker. Dryobates borealis. — 

 Found only at Chickamauga, on Snodgrass Hill, in long- 

 leaved pines — two or three birds. 



15. Pileated Woodpecker. " Logcock." CeophlcBUs 

 pileatus. — Said to be common on Walden's Ridge, where 

 I heard its flicker-like shout. 



16. Red-headed Woodpecker. Melanerpes erythrocepha- 

 lus. — One seen near Missionary Ridge and one at Chick- 

 amauga. The scarcity of this bird, and the absence of 

 the red-bellied and the yellow-bellied, were among the 

 surprises of my visit. 



17. Flicker. Golden-winged Woodpecker. Colaptes 

 auratus. — Not common. Three birds were seen at Chick- 

 amauga, and it was occasional on Walden's Ridge, where 

 I listed it five days of the seven. 



18. Whippoorwill. Antrostomus vociferus. — Un- 

 doubtedly common. I heard it only on Walden's Ridge, 

 the only place where I went into the woods after dark. 



19. Nighthawk. Chordeiles virginianus. — Common. 



20. Chimney Swift. Chcetura pelagica. — Abundant. 



21. Ruby-throated Humming-bird. Trochilus colubris. 

 — Common in the forests of Walden's Ridge. Seen but 

 twice elsewhere. First seen April 28. 



22. Kingbird. Tyrannus tyrannus. — Seen but three 

 times — nine specimens in all. First seen April 29. 



23. Crested Flycatcher. Myiarchus crinitus. — Noticed 

 daily, with two exceptions. 



24. Phoebe. Sayornis phoebe. — Common on Lookout 

 Mountain and Walden's Ridge. Not seen elsewhere.
