The Hairy Woodpecker is evidently less common than the 

 downy, especially near the lake. A little distance from the lake, 

 particularly in Walley's woods and along Tippecanoe River near 

 Belong, it was more often seen. 



79. DOWNY WOODPECKER 



DRYOBATES PUBESCENS MEDIANUS (Swainson) 



Much more common than the last; seen or heard calling or 

 pecking all the year round, usually in small trees. In bright 

 weather one finds them more in open places, and when colder they 

 take to more sheltered situations or deeper woods. They are more 

 tolerant of civilized conditions than any other of the woodpeckers 

 and are frequently found in orchards or trees along the streets 

 of towns or cities, industriously pecking away, too busy to notice 

 a quite near approach of people. Probably as common but not 

 generally so evident during the summer as in the fall and winter. 



Among our definite records the following may be given :
