Dryobates pubescens. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1897. There were several pairs of Downy and Yellow-bellied June 2. Woodpeckers about the shores of the pond (Bottle Brook Pond where we went this morning) and we found one nest of the for- mer species. The entrance hole was the smallest I have ever known a Downy to make. When we rapped on the stub and the female bird thrust out her head it seemed to fill the opening completely and when, a moment later, she essayed to follow it with her body she had to struggle violently for two or three seconds before she could get out. June 4. Watrous took the nest of the Downy Woodpecker at Bottle Brook Pond to-day. It had five eggs slightly incubated. The female was sitting at 9 A.M. (she was in the hole at 4 P.M. on the 2nd) and, as on our first visit, she had the utmost dif- ficulty in squeezing her body out. Bethel, Me.
