76 PACIFIC COAST AVIFAUNA No. 11 
228 (390a) Ceryle alcyon caurina Grinnell 
WESTERN BELTED KINGFISHER 
Synonyms—Alcedo alcyon; Ceryle alcyon; Streptoceryle alcyon caurina; 
Belted Kingfisher. 
Status—Common migrant, appearing in suitable places throughout the 
state. Remains through the summer and breeds along both the seacoast and in- 
terior streams of the northern half of the state; recorded as breeding south along 
the coast to near Santa Paula, Ventura County (Willett, Pac. Coast Avif. no. 7, 
1912, p. 54), on streams along the Sierras south at least to Yosemite Valley (Em- 
erson, Zoe, tv, 1893, p. 179), and east of the Sierras to Alvord, Owens Valley (A. 
K. Fisher, N. Amer. Fauna no. 7, 1893, p. 46). Winters commonly along the sea- 
coast of the San Diegan district ; in less numbers north along the coast of central 
California (J. Mailliard, Condor, vr, 1904, p. 16) at least to Tomales Bay (JJ. 
and J. W. Mailliard, MS). 
229 (393e) Dryobates villosus harrisi (Audubon) 
Harris WoopPECKER 
Status—Common resident of the narrow northwest humid coast belt south 
to Humboldt County ; occurs in winter east through the Siskiyou Mountains (M. 
P. Anderson and J. Grinnell, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1903, p. 7; Jenkins, 
Auk, xxi, 1906, p. 161), and south along the coast to Monterey (J. Grinnell, 
Pac. Coast Avif. no. 3 ,1902, p. 37). Breeding birds from the coast region from 
Mendocino to Monterey counties are variously intermediate towards hyloscopus. 
230 (393d, part) Dryobates villosus hyloscopus Cabanis and Heine 
CABANIS WOODPECKER 
Synonyms—Picus villosus; Picus harrisi, part; Picus villosus harrisi; Dry- 
obates villosus harrisi, part; Dendrocopus harrist; Harris Woodpecker, part. 
Status—Common resident in the Canadian, Transition and high Upper So- 
noran zones practically wherever these zones occur, except in the northwest humid 
coast belt (where replaced by harrisi) and the Modoe region of northeastern Cal- 
ifornia (where replaced by orius). More widespread in winter through the in- 
terior valleys west of the Sierras. The breeding range is altitudinally very wide; 
for instance in Los Angeles County, from the lowland willows near Compton up 
to the highest pines of the San Gabriel Mountains (8500 feet) ; this means zon- 
ally a habitat, in this case within a relatively short distance, from low Upper So- 
noran to high Transtition. 
This race of the hairy woodpecker, according to the latest reviser of the 
group (Oberholser, Proce. U. 8. Nat. Mus., vol. 40, 1911, p. 611), extends north- 
westwardly to Cahto (Mendocino County), Snow Mountain (Colusa County), 
and, eastwardly, to the White Mountains, Mono County. The transition between 
hyloscopus and orius evidently takes place through the central Sierra Nevada.
