Colaptes auratus. - On October 4, 1879, 1 took, at Fort Hamilton, a 
remarkable Golden-winged Woodpecker. It strongly evinces its affinity 
to C. mexicanus. Its black mustaches are sprinkled with red feathers. 
These are most plentiful along the upper edge, and at the lower end of 
the black cheek patch. The back is more strongly tinged with olive, is of 
a darker shade, and the black bars are much narrower than in ordinary 
individuals of C. auratus. The bird was a male. — De L. Berier Fort

This winter, January 30 (just after a fierce 
blizzard lasting four days), I saw a Yellow-shafted 
Woodpecke r. This is the first time I have ever ob- 
served one of these birds here in winter. In spring 
they generally arrive here between the 10th and 20th 
ot April. 1 have one instance noted, when they ar. 
rived March 10, 1873. 
Most respectfully yours, 
I). D. Stone.
