Piooides americanus. 
Lake Umbagog, Maine. Notes. 
1894. I saw a?Banded Three-toed Woodpecker on Pine Point this 
Sept.10. morning. It called at least fifty times in succession utter¬ 
ing a note which varied so much in tone that at first I 
thought it was made by P. arcticus ., next by Dr,yob at es. v i 11 o s_us., 
and last by D. pubescens . It was not until I got my glass on 
the bird that I felt sure of its identity, although I sus¬ 
pected that it would prove to be P. amoricanus from the fact 
that I have before compared the note of that species to the 
notes of both P. arcticus and D. pubescens . After calling a- 
while this bird began drumming, making a long, continuous roll 
like a Downy's but louder I thought. It had less white on 
the back than usual - a narrow median line only. It kept 
high up in the spruces and exhibited no peculiarities of at¬ 
titude or motion.
