' The Pileated Woodpecker {Hylotomuspileatus, Bd.), is by no means as rare 
as might be expected in so thickly populated a section. Not a year passes 
but that from one to five specimens are taken. I have notes of at least 
fifteen specimens, taken during the last four or five years, all of which oc- 
curred from the month of September to May, inclusive; the last record 
being the capture of two young females, September 28, 1881.

Pileated Woodpecker, (Hylotomus pilea- 
tus). Not common. Resident. Breeds. 
This is the largest and most shy of the 
Woodpeckers found here. Confined to 
the more thickly timbered districts. 
They are closely persued by gunners.

“ saw two of these birds in the fall of ’98, and heard several others, one in 
Johnson, and two in Craftsburv.” They doubtless occur in the environs 
of Mansfield.
