The white-headed woodpecker was rather common in the higher parts 

 of the Sierra Nevada, in California. Mr. Nelson noted a few at the 

 head of Owens Eiver, and found it common on the divide between the 

 Merced and San Joaquin rivers, on the western slope. In the Sequoia 

 National Park it was common, going in pairs and frequenting the more 

 open pine woods. Several were seen at Horse Corral Meadows, August 

 9-13, and in Kings Eiver Canon, August 15. 



It was seen also at Big Cottonwood Meadows, August 26; at Whitney 

 Meadows the last of August; at Soda Springs or Kern Eiver Lakes, 

 September 3; and along the East Fork of the Kaweah Eiver, from the 

 lower edge of the pines to and above Mineral King, the last of July and 

 September 13-14. Mr. Palmer saw one in Tejon Pass, July 12, and Mr. 

 Nelson observed several near the summit of Mount Pinos, in October.
