Pileated Woodpecker. 



This past season (1911) I was on 

 hand in good time to look up my pair 

 of Pileated Woodpeckers in the big 

 woods down the river. 



Early in May I spent the best part 

 of a day in looking over the most 

 promising territory. 



In an extensive swamp of heavy 

 hemlock I found numerous pellets and 

 feathers under many of the giant hem- 

 locks. They showed that both the 

 Barred and Horned Owls were about. 



There is always a pair of Great 

 Blue Herons about this place but 1 

 never could find a nest. I saw plenty 

 of signs of the Plleated's work but 

 no nest. However I did find two nests 

 of the Sharp-shinned Hawk and se- 

 cured both sets later on. Also found 

 a Red-shouldered in a large oak along 

 the edge of the hemlock. After fail- 

 ing to find the pileated nest at the 

 swamp I went to the lower flat along 

 the river and while going along no- 

 ticed a pileated fly from a giant syca- 

 more. 1 went over and high up in a 

 dead part of the tree I saw the open- 

 ing to the nest. A few good bumps 

 on the tree started the female off. 

 This tree is a giant and it would re- 

 quire ropes, climbers and lots of nerve 

 to get up. This is the third season 

 I have found this pair's nest and as I 

 tcck cne ?et I concluded not to risk 

 my neck after these so let them hatch 

 and hope to have them on my visiting 

 list again next season.

Chat and Golden Wing. 



In over 20 years active field work 

 in this vicinity I had never met with 

 the Chat at all previous to this past 

 season (1911) and only on one occa- 

 sion with the Golden wing. This one 

 occasion being in late .July, 1905, 

 when I captured a fine adult pair. 



Having spent several seasons in
