There is nothing in the Redhead to suggest the flycatcher, but he 

 really is an expert in that line. A flash of color often attracts your 

 eye to a nearby treetop, and you see that it is the Redhead, who 

 is diminishing the insect population. In one or two or thrae swoops, 

 as gracefully as Myiarchus himself, he obtains his luncheon. 



80. [409] Centurus carol inus (Linn. ). Red- bellied Woodpecker.* 

 Common summer resident; less common winter resident. An in- 

 crease in number is noticeable about the middle of March. Common 

 April 8, 1903. 



A very garrulous bird; a single individual often fills the woods with 

 a din of his varied cries; stimulation and excitement are not needed to 

 provoke a demonstration but he seems to do it for the pure love of making 

 a racket. 



81. [412a] Colnptes nurntus luteus Bangs. Northern Flicker.* Fig. 13. 

 Abundant summer resident and very common winter resident. Be- 

 comes abundant in March. Mating call heard as early as February 

 15, 1903, and as late as November 20, 1902. A nest and two eggs were 

 found in an apple tree April 22, 1903 (C. G. L.). 



82. [417] A)tti-ostomus vociferm (Wils.). Whip-poor-will.* 



Rather common summer resident, but on account of its peculiar 

 habits not commou'v observed.
