K. Selander, 1952 August 15 Dendrocopos stricklandi sealarum 15 mi. N Cuernavaca, 800 ft., Morelos, Mexico. Shot a juvenile clinging to trunk of small tree about 10 feet above ground. Bird alerted at sound of my approach; raised its head back - no note given. Another bird of this species may have been with the juvenile, as several birds flew from the tree when I fired. - This is only encounter with species during stay at this camp.
