1894. Flickers very numerous along the road from Errol to Dix- 
Sept. 19. ville Notch. They seemed to be migrants just in fronj. the 
north. I counted twelve in one flock. They -were all in 
fields and openings along the road. As they rose and flew off 
towards, the woods their white rumps were singularly conspicu¬ 
ous against the dark spruces. Often the white alone could be 
seen rising and falling in gentle undulations* 
Lake Umbagog, Maine. Roosting in a hole. 
1897. Soon after we had settled down behind the log (at Whale 1 
Sept.7. Back Creek) a Flicker flew to a stub on the opposite side of 
the creek and entered a hole which looked black and worn like 
and old nesting hole. It had evidently gone there to spend 
the night for it did not come out again. I did not know be¬ 
fore that Flickers roosted in holes at this season.

1898. (on the way up Cambridge Eiver) Two Flickers were "shout 
; Sept.11. ing" almost as freely and frequently as if it were May in¬ 
stead of September and both were in the depths of the woods 
far up from the settlements. These were actually the only 
Woodpeckers noted. 
jSept.26. At Upton Melvin saw a remarkable number of Flickers (400 
i s 
or 500 he says) scattered everywhere in the fields and woods.
