Birds of Paraguay. 
[This species is not uncommon in the large forests of 
Central Paraguay. The Woodpeckers differ so slightly in their 
habits that there is but little to say about them, unless their 
nests are found. They are among the early breeders; I 
found one nestling able to hy and in fairly advanced, 
plumage on the 5th of November, 1901.— TV. F.~\
