Picoides americanus. Lake Umbagog, Maine. Notes. 1894. I saw a Banded Three-toed Woodpecker on Pine Point this Sept.10. morning. It called at least fifty times in succession utter- ing a note which varied so much in tone that at first I thought it was made by P.arcticus, next by Dryobates villosus, and last by D.pubescens. It was not until I got my glass on the bird that I felt sure of its identity, although I sus- pected that it would prove to be P.americanus from the fact that I have before compared the note of that species to the notes of both P.arcticus and D.pubescens. After calling a- while this bird began drumming, making a long, continuous roll like a Downy's but louder I thought. It had less white on the back than usual - a narrow median line only. It kept high up in the spruces and exhibited no peculiarities of at- titude or motion. 38
