with Mr. and Mrs. Woodpecker. When
they see what might be a good home,
they stand outside and hammer at

-wonders what all the racket is about.
You see, they hammer the walls to
make sure they are strong and diir-
able. Some times they beat the tattoo
from sheer exuberance of joy, how-
evei, just as the robin sings his spring
song for us.
The Golden -winged Woodpecker, or
Flicker, as he is sometimes called, is
a very beautiful bird, wearing a coat
of golden brown striped with. black,
and across the top . of his head is a
bit of brilliant red. They make their
nest in holes which they dig in dead
poles or' trees, and it is a well known
fact that tree swallows, fly -catchers,
and other species use their old nests,
which they find very comfortable,
since they are unable to bore one out
for themselves, not having a bill like
the flicker's, constructed for the pur-
pose. The feet of the woodpecker help
in a remarkable way when he is tap -
