32. Dryobates villosus (Linn.) Hairy Woodpecker. 
A common resident. 
33. Dryobates pubescens (Linn.) Downy Woodpecker. 
An abundant resident. 
34. Sphyropicus varius (Linn.) Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. 
A moderately common migrant. Not known to bréed. Was first noted this 
spring on April 7, and was first noted during fall migrations on September 26. 
35. Melanerpes erythrocephalus (Linn.) Red-headed Woodpecker. 
An exceedingly abundant bird and irregularly migratory. In years when 
beechnuts are unusually abundant I have found the woods literally alive with 
these birds as late as the last week in December. Then upon the advent of pro- 
longed spells of severe weather, they retreat southward, and again put in their 
appearance a few days after the middle of April. 
36. Melanerpes carolinus (Linn.) Red-bellied Woodpecker. 
A by no means abundant, though a tolerably evenly distributed, resident. 
37. Calaptes auratus (Linn.) Flicker. 
An abundant bird; mostly migratory. Unlike other woodpeckers, it is fast 
becoming a ground-feeding bird and losing some of the typical picarian char- 
acters. 
38.  Astrostomus vocifernus (Wils.) Whippoorwill. 
A moderately common, or rather uncommon, summer resident. 
39. Chordeiles virginianus (Gmel.) Night-Hawk. 
A common summer resident; arrives about May 20. Most noticeably abund- 
ant, however, toward the latter part of the summer and early fall, when large 
flocks of them may be seen of afternoons performing their wonderful aerial 
evolutions. 
40. Chetura pelagica (Linn.) Chimney Swift. 
An abundant summer resident; arrives about April 12 and departs southward 
in early fall. 
41. Trochilus colubris (Linn.) Ruby-throated Humming-bird. 
A common summer resident; arrives during the first week in May. 
42. Tyrannus tyrannus (Linn.) King-bird. 
An abundant summer resident; usually puts in its appearance about April 24. 
43. Sayornis phoebe (Lath.) Phebe.
