 176. Campephilus principalis Linn Ivory-billed Woodpecker. 



A rare resident in a few sections of the state. From 

 reliable sources I am informed that it is not uncommon along 

 Bayou Mason, Franklin parish. Most of the reports are? 

 however, referable to the "Log-cock."* 



178. Picus villosus audubonii Swains. Southern Hairy Woodpecker. 

 A common resident in all parts of the state where timber 



exists.

Wherever the preceding species is found, this will also 

 occur.

This is essentially a bird of the pine- woods ; abundant, 

 especially in the pine flats of St. Tammany, St. Helena, Tan- 

 gipahoa and like parishes. In northwestern Louisiana it is 

 not quite so common, and in the southwestern parts it does 

 not occur.

A common winter resident in almost all parts of the state.

A common resident in all wooded parts ; preferring heavy 

 timber to the open pine woods.

 lin parish; the author having procured seven specimens and one nest in that locality 

 in July, i8p9."O. E. B.
