Ceophloeus pileatus. Bethel, Maine. Call notes of the Pileated Woodpecker 1907 January 21 The Log Cock heard in the Glen Woods this morning called only once, but then very near at hand. It began very like a "shouting" Flicker, but its notes from the first were delivered less rapidly and smoothly than those of the Flicker and they were decidedly louder. They became gradually less and less closely connected until towards the close of the outcry (which lasted more than double the length of time that the "shouting" of the Flicker ever consumes) they were separated by intervals of two or three seconds each. The entire series of calls may be rendered thus :- cuc-cuc-cuc-cuc-cuc-cuc-cuc-cuc-cuc-cuc-cuc-cuc-cuc-cuc-cuc-cuc- cuc-cuc-cuc-cuc-cuc-cuc-cuc, cuc, cuc; cuc; cuc cuc. This is the typical prolonged outcry of the Pileated Woodpecker with the notes all on the same key and, as I have said, widely discon- nected at the end. The bird utters much oftener a shorter series of similar notes, still more like those of the Flicker but less numerous, given very quickly and smoothly and falling at the end in a tremulous diminuendo. This short outcry is common to both sexes and is constantly used when two or more birds are roaming the woods not far apart calling to one another as they move from place to place. 72
