Dendrocopos pubescens. 2.8 mi. UNW Richmond, 1275 ±ft., Jefferson Co., Ohio. Shot one of a pair out of a leafless deciduous tree. Also Carthus carolinensis in area. The one I got was imm. (ossified skull) ♂, tes. 2 mm. Several holes in dead trees around. Both legs on this bird were broken by shot. But the most impressive thing was the shatterness of all bones of the leg. Femur was very short; tibia taurus also. Skin not as tight as on many woodpeckers.
