226 COMMON BIRDS OF AN INDIAN GARDEN 



forest above Pangi in the upper Satlej Valley. As 

 I was following the narrow track, a specimen of 

 the Himalayan pied woodpecker, Dendrocopus 

 himalayensis, suddenly flew into a tree overhanging 

 it, and disappeared into a hole in the stem, greeted 

 by a noisy chorus of welcome from the young birds 

 within.
