My 87 yr-old Dad says, when he was a small boy, he & his brother James called them Ter-Ters because of their vocalizations. He went on to say that the common name used in the Breaks,VA area was Wood Hen. Dave R ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Thornhill" <birder@xxxxxxxxxxx>

We called them Indian Hens when I was a boy in Louisiana.  And no comments
about prehistoric times, Janice.

Hi All,
I received this message from Skip McClellan out in TX.
Look at what is visiting his suet feeder.
Skip, we called those Wood Hens when I was a boy. At this time of the year
we hear them "drumming" on hollow trees in the woods, as they try to attract 

a mate.

Roger:

Had to send this picture to you.  The Great One made a visit this
afternoon.
6:10 PM, 84 degrees, My Suet was not lasting long.  I blamed it on the
squirrels.  When I was a young boy.  We called them "Giant Woodpeckers",
we
did not know what a Piliated Woodpecker was.  What a neat bird.  We have
about three that hang around the yard area.  They are nervous and do not
normally pose for a picture.

Good Birding

Skip McClellan
Conroe, Texas
