Melanerpes erythrocephalus Breeding near Boston. — On the 26th of 
June, 1901, I saw a pair of Red-headed Woodpeckers feeding their young 
in Newton, Mass., the nest being in a dead stump at a height of twenty 
or twenty-five feet from the ground. According to Messrs. Howe and 
Allen’s ‘Birds of Massachusetts’ this would seem to be the first nest 
ever recorded from eastern Massachusetts, although Mr. Brewster, in 
his edition of Minot, speaks of one found in Brookline in 1878. —
