As I was sitting in the camp door this morning I heard a peculiar, low churr-rr-r which at once struck me as a sound with which I was not familiar. At first I suspected that it was made by a Squirrel but presently I found it to a pair of Downy Woodpeckers which were playing about among the stems of a cluster of Vaccinium myrtillus only a few yards off. One or both of them repeated the cry a dozen times or more before they moved off. They were both in full autumn plumage. A note new to me. 1897 September 6 - 20 - M.R. C.A. 19 (main) 25 - 1898.
