. The birds of America : from drawings made in the United States and their territories . IL—Male and Females. It is generally agreeable to be in the company of individuals who arenaturally animated and pleasant. For this reason, nothing can be moregratifying than the society of Woodpeckers in the forests. To prove this toyou, kind reader, I shall give you a full account of the habits of the Golden-winged Woodpecker. This species, which is usually called Pique-bois jaune by the Frenchsettlers in Louisiana, and receives the name of High-holder, Yucker, andFlicker in other parts of the Union, being seldom or never graced with theepithet Golden-ioinged, employed by naturalists, is one of the most lively ofour birds, and is found over the whole of the United States.
