 IVORY-BILLED WOODPECKER. 



"In 1866, while I was stalking some mallards in the 

 Cypress Slough, near the Warrior River, and ten miles 

 west of Greensboro, a bird which I thought was a pileat- 

 ed woodpecker (called here log-cock), flew by me, but a 

 strange note made me at once suspect the identity of the 

 bird, and in two seconds a female ivory-billed wood- 

 pecker instead of the mallards was secured by me. This 

 is the only instance known to me of its occurrence in this 

 country." (1890e).
