course down stream. Winnesheik and Allamakee counties. 



(26)—Coccyzus americanus. YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO. 



Quite common but shy. Winnesheik and Allamakee counties. 



i27)—Ceryle alcyon. KINGFISHER. 



Not very common but generally distributed throughout the valley. Win- 

 nesheik and Allamakee counties. 



{28)-Dryo})ates villosus. HAIRY WOODPECKER. 



Quite common throughout the vaUey ; young and adults were obtained in 

 Winnesheik and Allamakee counties. 



{29)—Dryohates puhescens medianus. DOWNY WOODPECKER. 



Very common everywhere. Winnesheik and Allamakee counties. 



(30)-Sphyrapicus varius. YELLOW-BELLIED WOODPECKER. 



Several famihes, old and young, of this bird were met with in the timber 

 bordering the river. They seem to be partial to such locations as not a single 

 bird was observed in any other place. Winnesheik and Allamakee counties. 



(31)—Melanerpes erythrocephalus. RED-HEADED WOODPECKER. 



A common bird in Winnesheik and Alamakee counties. 



{32)—Melanerpes carolinus. RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER. 



Not common and apparently restricted to the heavy timber. Winnesheik 

 and Allamakee counties. 



{33)—Colaptes auratus. FLICKER. 

 Common everywhere. Winnesheik and Allamakee counties. 



i34)—Antrostomus vociferus. WHIP-POOR-WILL. 



Judging from their notes, I should say that they were not very abundant. 

 But this I believe is their silent season so the mere fact that they were heard 

 will have to suffice for this record. Winnesheik and Allamakee counties. 



{35)—Chorcleiles virginianus. NIGHT HAWK. 



Quite common in both Winnesheik and Allamakee counties. 



{36)—Chaetura pelagica. CHIMNEY SWIFT. 



Common everywhere and I believe careful search would reveal some primi- 

 tive nesting sights in trees. Winnesheik and Allamakee counties. 



(37)—TrochUus coluhris. RUBY-THROATED HUMMING BIRD. 



Very common in both Winnesheik and Allamakee counties. 



(38)— Tyr annus tyrannies. KING BIRD.
