ANNOTATED LIST OF THE BIRDS 215 



New Jersey. Common summer resident throughout, more 

 numerous on migration, occasional in winter. 



ENGLEWOOD REGION. Common transient, occasional in 

 winter; March 16, 1919 (Bowdish) to May 18, 1913 (J. T. 

 Nichols); August 27, 1922 (Griscom and LaDow) to Nov- 

 ember 7, 1915 (Rogers). 



HAIRY WOODPECKER (Dryobates villosus) 

 A fairly common resident in all wooded sections, but rare 

 or absent in cultivated districts. Were it not for stations 

 such as Central Park and Long Beach, there would be little 

 or no evidence to show that the bird was at all migratory. It 

 is a larger edition of the Downy, but the absolute size is not so 

 good a character as the bill, which is heavier and obviously 

 over an inch long. The notes are louder, heavier, and wilder, 

 and the rattle does not slide down the scale as the Downy's 

 does. 



ORIENT. Probably a rare summer resident in Southold 

 (Mrs. Frank D. Smith); elsewhere only an irregular visitant, 

 August 8 to April 2. 



CENTRAL PARK. Very rare transient; has wintered; 

 September 30, 1905 (Hix) to October 16, 1904 (Hix); winter- 

 ing birds have remained as late as May 20, 1919 (Granger and 

 Griscom), but there is no evidence of a spring migration. Most 

 of the records are in the first half of October. No November 

 or March records refer positively to transients. 



DOWNY WOODPECKER (Dryobates pubescens medianus) Fig. 19 

 One of our most familiar and best known residents, the 

 little Downy still occurs in Central Park, and is common 

 everywhere except in the immediate vicinity of the ocean. 

 There is often an appreciable migration in October. 



LONG BEACH. Casual on migration; October 27, 1912 

 (Griscom). 



CENTRAL PARK. About two resident pairs still linger; 

 transients are recorded October 6, 1910 (Griscom) to October 

 30, 1911 (Griscom).
