| Concluded from Vol. V, p. 351. | 
73. Coccyzus americanus. YELLOW-BILLED Cuckoo. — A common 
summer resident, arriving about the middle of May. Fresh eggs June 30, 
1885. 
74. Coccyzus erythrophthalmus. BLACK-BILLED CucKoo.—A common 
summer resident. Until 1884, the Black-billed seemed quite rare, but 
since then it has appeared to be more abundant than the Yellow-billed. 
75. Ceryle alcyon. KINGFISHER.—A common summer resident, com- 
ing early, and remaining latein the autumn. A set of six eggs taken May 
18, in which incubation had proceeded perhaps a week. 
76. Dryobates villosus. HaAtry WOODPECKER. 
77. Dryobates pubescens. Downy Wooppecker.—-These two familiar 
Woodpeckers are common residents of the County. 
78. Sphyrapicus varius. YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER.—A_ rather 
rare resident, most common in the spring. I have specimens obtained 
December 15, 1884, and January 11, 1885. 
79. Ceophlceus pileatus. PILEATED WoOODPECKER.—Formerly a not 
uncommon resident, but I have seen none in the County for several years, 
and I have no doubt they have left 1t permanently. 
80. Melanerpes erythrocephalus. Rrp-HEADED WoOODPECKER.—Our 
most abundant Woodpecker, usually going south in the autumn, but 
frequently remaining with us all winter. ‘This it did during the winter 
of 1851-82 in great numbers. I saw one in the southern part of the 
County, January 14, 1888. 
81. Melanerpes carolinus. RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER.—A common 
resident, about as abundant in winter as in summer. 
$2. Colaptes auratus. ‘YELLOWHAMMeR.’— An abundant resident 
and one of our most valuable birds. Full sets of eggs may be found 
by May 4. In May and June, 1885, I obtained thirty-seven eggs in 
forty-nine days from a ‘Yellowhammer’ which had its nest near my house. 
The eggs were in seven sets, five, five, five, six, seven, four, and five eggs 
respectively.* 
83. Antrostomus vociferus. WuHrIP-POOR-WILL.—Not uncommon asa 
summer resident, arriving from April 20 to May 1.
