Melanerne s erythrooenhalus . 
Lake Umbagog, Maine. 
18S6. At 7 A.M. as we were sitting on the piazza a Red-headed 
May 1C. Woodpecker in fully adult plumage came flying over the meadow 
from the direction of the Lake and alighted on a fence post 
nearly on front of the house. He then flew from post to post 
and finally entered a young apple orchard where he was at once 
attacked with great fierceness by a Robin who quickly drove 
him off into the woods.
