Ceophloeus pileatus.

Heard a Plicated Woodpecker and this morning saw another 
crossing the lake, flying high and perfectly straight like a Crow.

Outlet and Leonard's Pond . 
Soon after dinner we all went together to the Pileated ♦ 
Woodpecker's nest opposite the mouth of the Megalloway. I begin 
to fear that it has been deserted, for no bird was in the hole 
when we reached it and none came near it during the two or three 
hours that we spent within sight of the stub. I have already not¬ 
ed that only the male was seen during our visit on May 28, and 
that he then spent a long time calling for his mate. Possibly 
something has happened to her.
