PenNocCK—Birp Nores rrom NortTH CAROLINA. 37 
species about Pinehurst. I saw one sunning himself about 8:30 
a. m. February 19, in the bright sunshine, the thermometer having 
marked 22° at 7 a. m. 
15. Bubo virginianus virginianus—Great Horned Owl. 
Said to be rather common. One was captive in the park, taken 
near by in early winter, and others had been taken. They did not 
live amicably, I was told, and would sometimes fight to the death. 
16. Ceryle aleyon.—Belted Wingfisher. 
I saw one near the mill and they were reported as being rather 
common. 
17. Dryobates villosus auduboni—Southern Hairy Woodpecker. 
I saw but four or five. I referred all to this form. One shot 
measured 8.54 inch, wing 4.50 inch. 
18. Dryobates pubescens pubescens—Southern Downy Woodpecker. 
Seemingly more abundant than was the preceding species. Three 
I shot measured, length, 6.25, 6.00, 6.00 inches; wing, 2.25, 2.62, 
2.50. 
19. Dryobates borealis.—Red-cockaded Woodpecker. 
Fairly abundant; noted on eight different days, and twenty-one 
individuals counted. Possibly a few of these were seen twice. 
20. Sphyrapicus varius varius—Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. 
Not numerous. I did not see above six of them. 
21. Melanerpes crythrocephalus.Red-headed Woodpecker. 
Seen only in the village, where there were two or three, evidently 
young of the preceding year. By March 15 the head was showing 
bright red. 
22. Centurus carolinus.—Red-bellied Woodpecker, 
Saw one only. It was in the oak woods eight miles northeast of 
Pinehurst, March 4, my only trip to this region. ‘They appeared 
absent from the pine lands about Pinehurst. 
23. Colaptes auratus auratus.—Flicker. 
Abundant. ‘Seen about the village and over the country gener- 
ally. By February 23 they had become quite noisy and were loye- 
making on March 2. 
24. Chordeiles virginianus virginianus—Nighthawk. 
I was surprised to see a single bird on February 22 flying over 
the village. It was not over fifty yards distant and in full light. 
On March 14 I heard one of these birds overhead towards evening 
as I passed through the Park grove, but failed to see it. It has 
been suggested that this may have been a bird unable to make the 
southward flight last fall and remained north throughout the win- 
ter. Its appearance at the place and time is certainly remarkable 
25. Otocoris alpesiris practicola—Prairie Horned Lark.
