Cagwell 1949 Dendrocopos villosus aug.8-19 Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif., Common, but found singly in all habitats with trees (including pure redwood forest). It was distinctly Common in the 3. year old burn with its many dead trees than in other habitats. The only calls heard from them during this period were single loud "peek's, or occasionally a short rapid repetition of the same, up to 3 or 4 at a time. a few woodpecker drummings heard in the burned over area were attributed & this species. aug.20-26 and "Ball Wells" NW of Coyote Peak French Camp, 3100 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. - Several seen or heard daily.
