Ceor/hloeus pileatus . 
Breez;/ Point, Warren, N.H. 
1394. While sitting here (under the shade of a big maple by 
June 17. the brooh, where W . Faxon andlwent this morning), and later in 
the day as we were at the house, we heard in the distance be- 
yond the orchard a sound which ae, all took to be the voice of 
a White-bellied nuthatch until Faxon, following it to its 
source, found a Pileated Woodpecker to be its author. The 
bird was in the forest nearly a quarter of a mile away. It 
was very tame allowing him to walk directly beneath it as it 
sat crosswise on a branch, calling at intervals. Long before 
he got at all near it the resemblance to the Nuthatch's cry 
(the whinney ) was lost for the bird was really "shouting" in 
the normal, Flicker -like manner.
