The Lewis Woodpecker Nesting in Alameda County, California
Online Full Text
On June 12, 1914, I found a nest and pair of Lewis Woodpeckers (Asyndesmus lewisi) between Pleasanton and Niles, Alameda County. I was attracted to the nest by the female bird which began calling whden I came in sight. She had in her bill what looked like a large black beetle. The male did not come around for about ten minutes, but when he did come, the two did not make much further noise. The nest was located in a solitary sycamore tree about forty feet above the ground in a dead limb. This tree was in the creek bottom within a thousand yards of the Grant Gravel Company's plant.
