32 BAYLOR UNIVERSITY BULLETIN 



226. Dryobates pubescens. Southern Downy Woodpecker. 



Eastern Texas, common in winter in the vicinity of Waco. One speci- 

 men recorded from San Antonio and one from the Middle Concho 

 River, these locaHties indicating in all probability its Southern and 

 Western migration ranges in the State. Recorded as a breeding bird 

 in Singley's Lee county list but I am a Uttle doubtful of its status as 

 such. 



227. Dryobates borealis. Red-cockaded Woodpecker. 



Pine forests and swamp regions of Eastern Texas (Houston, Hemp- 

 stead, Nacogdoches, etc). Resident. 



228. Dryobates scalaris bairdi. Texan Woodpecker. 



Southern and Western Texas, north on the mesquite plains of middle 

 Texas to the northern boundary and along the valley of the Canadian 

 River across the Panhandle. East, locally, as far as Waco, where it is 

 an uncommon breeding bird. 



229. Sphyrapicus varius. Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. 



A common migrant through the eastern half of the State. A few 

 winter in the vicinity of Waco. 



230. Sphyrapicus varius nuchalis. Red-naped Sapsucker. 



Recorded as a rare winter resident in the vicinity of Fort Davis by 

 Uoyd. 



231. Sphyrapicus ruber thyroideus. Williamson Sapsucker. 



Irregular winter visitant to the western counties. Collected in Tom 

 Green, Concho and Uvalde counties by Lloyd. 



232. Phloeotomus pileatus. Pileated Woodpecker. 



Eastern Texas, resident. A few are still found in the thick Tehua- 

 cana bottoms, nine miles from Waco, but the species seems destined 

 to follow the way of the Ivory-bill. 



233. Melanerpes erythrocephalus. Red-headed Woodpecker. 



Northern and Eastern Texas, more abundant in summer than in 

 winter. Recorded as a rare winter resident of Refugio county by 

 Carroll. Said to be exceedingly rare in the vicinity of San Antonio 

 by Beckham but Attwater does not record it from that locality at all. 

 Most abundant woodpecker at Waco. In the Paloduro section of the 

 Panhandle, it is not uncommon during the summer months, following 

 up the river valleys almost to the New Mexican line.
