Soon after dinner we all went together to the Pileated Woodpecker's nest opposite the mouth of the Megalloway. I be- gin to fear that it has been deserted for no bird was in the hole when we reached it and none came near it during the two or three hours that we spent within sight of the stub. I have already noted that only the male was seen during our visit on May 28, and that he then spent a long time calling for his mate. Possibly something has happened to her. ----::---- 69
