Kingfisher. Ceryle alcyon (Linn). 
Found wherever there is a river or a lake. Several were seen 
daily flying up and down the Kenton river, and two nest-holes 
were found in a gravelly bank above the water. Quite common 
about Lake 33, where, toward evening they would hover for 
minutes at a time before plunging for a meal. 
Hairy Woodpecker. Dryohates villosus villosus (Linn). 
Four Hairy Woodpeckers were seen about the shores of Lake 
33, and one on Duck Island, at one corner of the Lake. Not 
very common. 
Downy Woodpecker. Dryohates puhescens medianus (Swain- 
son). 
Very common. Found both at Kenton and at Lake 33, but 
not in the deep evergreen woods. A young bird of this species, 
badly mutilated by either a hawk or owl was found at Lake 16. 
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. SpJiyr^apicus varius varius (Linn). 
But two were seen, both of these in a boggy opening in the for¬ 
est near Lake 33. However, the work of the birds on the tree 
trunks in certain areas would lead one to the belief that the birds 
are much more common than this data would imply. 
Northern Pileated Woodpecker. Phloeotomus pileatns abieticola 
(Bangs). 
One fleeting glimpse of this large woodpecker near Lake 33 
was the best the writer could do, although the hammering of the 
species, unmistakable beyond a doubt, was heard on several occa¬ 
sions. Denizens of the deepest forest, their tatooing on a hollow 
tree-trunk can be heard at a very great distance, (the writer be¬ 
lieves nearly two miles), and the birds are extremely shy and 
difficult of approach. 
Red-headed Woodpecker. Melanerpes erythrocephalus (Lmn). 
Found quite commonly in the cleared or burned over region 
about Kenton, and not seen in the forests about the lakes. Five 
birds in immature plumage would indicate that the bird is a 
breeding species.
