In the list Of tree cleaners we find
woodpeckers. chickades, nuthatches,
and creepers. All Of these feed largely
or wholly on insect eggs and larvae
taken from the buds and bark of the
trees. They spend their time going
over them searching for this food. and
there are few trees that escape from
this inspection many times during the
season The creepers and woodpeckers
are to be found on the trunks and
larger branches. the chickadees fire.
quent the small branches, and the nut
matches VIII be found in any place on
the tree This last bird is the greatest
bird gymnast to be seen here. He will
be noted running down the trunk or
limp head first as often as any other
way. The creepe1 are curious little
brownish colored birds with a long
curved bill. They have the habit Of
flying to the base Of a tree and going
to the top in a spiral path around the
trunk. When they reach the
upper branches down they go to
the base of the next tree to re-
peat the process. The white breasted
| nuthatch. brown creeper. and black
| capped chickadee represent their re-
| spective families here, and we COM
monty have three woodpeckers. namely,
the downy and hairy woodpeckers and
the flicker. during the winter months.
| However the winter of 1913-1914 was
| unusual in one way, for instead of
three, we had five species OF this fam
| lily with u.s.
| The downy woodpecker, small
| black and white bird with red crown
| patch in the male), is the most COM
mon OF all 1t can be found almost
anywhere about town or in the timber
along the river The hairy Is an en-
larged replica of the downy and is not
SO common. The flicker is usually
common all winter but for some un-
known reason was very rare the past
winter. This is the largest Of our
| woodpeckers and one of the best known.
Locally 1t is known as the yellow-ham-
mer or golden winged woodpecSe-.
These three species are the only ones
found regularly during the winter. but
during 1913-191A three red-headed
woodpeckers and one red-bellied wood
pecker remained thru the season in the
cemetery. The former are very abunI-
ant during the summer, but generally
leave during September and do not re-
turn again until the first Of May. The
three in the cemetery apparently suf-
fered little from the cold. as they were
| to be found on the worst days flying
about or fighting with the blue jays.
The red bellied woodpecker is an un
/, common bird here at any season, the
| one which spent the winter being the
second individual to be observed here.
