PLATE XXIX. 
The Spotted Woodpeckers 
Are never to be met with but in pairs, we have but few of them and they are very feldom to be 
feen. They build in trunks of trees, and frequently make choice of an hollow apple tree. They 
feed in the fame manner as the Green Woodpecker given in a former plate, and differ only in fize 
and colour from that bird. When they alight on the ground they have an aukward appearance, 
which demonllrates that the tree is more fuitable to their nature. They are a Ihy bird and not very 
eafy of approach, their flight is feldom more than the length of one field or clofe.
