45. Harris's Woodpecker; Dry abates villosus 

 harrissii (Aud.). 



A member of the black and white woodpecker 

 group of which we have three representatives. 

 They are all without ornamentation save a scar- 

 let patch on the head of the male. This species 

 is black above, with a broad longitudinal streak 

 of white. Below grayish white. Length nine 

 or ten inches. This variety is confined to the 

 northwest coast district, while a very closely and 

 to the popular eye indistinguishable form — Ca- 

 banis's Woodpecker — is found in other wooded 

 portions of the State.
