Ceophloens nileatus . 
Lake limb agog, Maine. 
1397 We had an exceptionally fine outburst of bird songs early 
May 31. this morning and it lasted well into the forenoon. I went 
with 3Lim to the Pileated Woodpecker's nest. No bird appeared 
’when we rapped the trunk but hoping that one or the other of 
the pair might return soon I set up my camera with the tripod 
firmly lashed to an old root and a plate ready for exposure. 
7/e waited nearly two hours without either seeing or hearing 
our Log- cocks. I begin to fear that something has gone wrong 
with them. As I have already noted only the male appeared 
during our last visit but Watrous saw both birds on the 26th 
when the female after being driven from the hole called up 
her mate who entered and took her place.
