The range of Nuttall’s woodpecker extends =north= to southwestern Oregon (probably Ashland); and northern California (Weed and Lassen Peak). =East= to California (Lassen Peak, Oroville, probably Florence Lake, Owens Lake, and Redlands); and Baja California (San Rafael and San Domingo). =South= to northern Baja California (San Domingo and Ensenada). =West= to northwestern Baja California (Ensenada); western California (San Diego, San Onofre, Santa Barbara, Morro, Monterey, and East Park); and southwestern Oregon (probably Ashland). _Egg dates._--California: 82 records, March 25 to June 14; 41 records, April 21 to May 6, indicating the height of the season. DRYOBATES ARIZONAE ARIZONAE (Hargitt) ARIZONA WOODPECKER HABITS Strickland’s woodpecker (_Dryobates stricklandi_), a Mexican species, was formerly recorded from southern Arizona by some of the early writers; but Edward Hargitt (1886) discovered that the Arizona bird was specifically distinct, described it, and named it as a new species, _Picus arizonae_. He gave it the following diagnosis: “_P._ similis _P. stricklandi_, sed dorso uniformi nec albofasciato distinguendus.” The two species are quite similar in general appearance, but _stricklandi_ has the median portion of the back and the whole rump broadly barred or transversely spotted with white, whereas in _arizonae_ these parts are uniformly plain brown, and the markings on the under parts are in the form of large rounded or subcordate spots, instead of streaks. The range of the Arizona woodpecker includes southeastern Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, Sonora, Chihuahua, and northwestern Durango; it is another one of those Mexican species that barely crosses our southwestern border. Henry W. Henshaw (1875) was the first to report this woodpecker, under the name of Strickland’s woodpecker, as entitled to a place in our fauna; he writes: “This rare woodpecker is a common species on the foothills of the Chiricahua Mountains, where it was one of the first birds that met my eye when the section where it abounds was first entered. Whether it extends upward, and finds its home during a portion of the year among the pines that here begin at an altitude of about 1,000 [10,000?] feet, I do not know. So far as I could ascertain, at this season at least [August], it is confined to the region of the oaks, ranging from about 4,000 to 7,000 feet, thus inhabiting a region about midway between the low valleys and the mountain districts proper.”
