They would sit on your hand long enough to have their pictures taken. We were successful in getting two Hairy Wood- peckers last fall in this trap; and this spring and this fall we took a number of Yellow-bellied Sapsuck- ers. Finally, in September and October, the Brown Creepers came back; and by careful watching and making more changes in the traps we finally got the successful model, and one day found ten Brown Creepers in one trap when we first took it down in the morning. During the rest of that day we were successful in getting twelve more, so it made twenty-two Brown Creepers in one day, but we found there were a few more changes necessary in the receiving box of the trap; so we moved it again and now we are ready to show you what we call our 1924 model of Woodpecker trap.
