Ceophloceus nileatus. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1897 We had an exceptionally fine outburst of bird songs early May 31. this morning and it lasted well into the forenoon. I went with Jim to the Pileated Woodpecker's nest. No bird appeared when we rapped the trunk but hoping that one or the other of the pair might return soon I set up my camera with the tripod firmly lashed to an old root and a plate ready for exposure. We waited nearly two hours without either seeing or hearing our Log cocks. I begin to fear that something has gone wrong with them. As I have already noted only the male appeared during our last visit but Watrous saw both birds on the 26th when the female after being driven from the hole called up her mate who entered and took her place.
