A very rare woodpecker in Costa Rica. I have taken four speci- 

 mens in very widely separated places, but have never seen more than 

 one bird in any one locality. It is confined entirely to the lowlands, 

 not going above 2,000 feet, and keeps within the heavy forest. All 

 the birds which I saw were quite low down, but I cannot say whether 

 this is a characteristic habit.
