Picus pubescens. 1874. Maine (Lake Umbagog). July 27. Shot a young male with the whole top of the head red. Aug. 1. Took a very small male apparently just from the nest. These young are still together in broods but I doubt if either they, or the young of Picus villosus, are fed by the parents after leaving the nest. 1876. June 15. Nest with three fresh eggs; about twenty feet high in a stub in the woods on high ground. " 22. One flycatching, launching out repeatedly after flying Dyptera. He caught several, but was much less adroit at this occupation than the Yellow-bellied Wood- pecker. I afterwards saw another doing the same thing. 1879. June 13. Set of three eggs incubated about four days. Hole in dead top of live ash near lake shore; height about forty feet. This nest was found May 25, when the birds were hammering inside. Winton. 1880. June 5. Set D-5. Incubated six days. Nest in top of very rotten ash stub over water; found May--- when the male was at work excavating it, having at that time sunk the hole to the depth of a few inches only; height fif- teon feet. " 7. A nest examined contained young several days old. 1882. Oct. 8-22. Nearly as common as the last. Dryobates pubescens. 1899. Oxford County, Maine. Sept.23', Bethel.
