VILLAGE BOARD NEWS At the regular bi-monthly- meeting of the village board, the 'board accepted the resignation of Leon Zelvis as building officer for the village. Mr. Zelvis has held this position for a number of years, and he did an excellent job. The position of building officer in a newly! formed village in which the amount of construction is as high as ours is a truly difficult and unrewarding job. Leon gave it all he had, and we are grateful for his services, hard work, and uncompromising devotion to a weary friendless job.

Over the next four months, the Church of Christ, 401 N. Oak street, Crystal Lake, will sponsor a Bible correspondence course for interested residents of McHenry county. The study will be conducted entirely through the mail and will be offered at no charge to people of all ages. The course consists of a series of eight lessons which take the student through the Bible, from the creation in the Old Testament to the establish­ ment of the church in the New Testament. Any translation of the Bible may be used in these lessons, and a certificate of completion will be awarded to all those who finish the course. The advantage of conducting this through the mail is that a person may work at his own speed. John M. Hurt, of Mur- freesboro, Tenn., is the author of this study, and the course is c o m p l e t e l y n o n - denominational. The church in Crystal Lake is sponsoring this as a way to bring about an increase of Bible knowledge for people in this area. Members of the Crystal Lake congregation have volunteered to grade the returned lessons and mail out the next lessons in the sequence. The lessons are printed in four colors and may be kept for future reference work in Bible subjects. Persons wishing to take advantage of this free offer should contact the minister of the church, Raymond T. Exum, in writing or by phone 459-4160 or 455-3796, and the first lesson will be mailed immediately. This Week's Migrant RED-HEADED WOODPECKER By Vernon Kleen Drawing by Aura Duke (This Week's Migrant" series prepared and sponsored by the Illinois Audubon society) The best-known woodpecker in Illinois is probably the Red­ headed Woodpecker. Prac­ tically everyone has seen this species at one time or another because it is the most common and post conspicuous of all Illinois woodpeckers. Of the seven woodpecker species that occur in Illinois, the Red­ headed occurs in the greatest variety of habitats ranging from open forests to small woodlots and from suburban yards to farm yards. These woodpeckers are especially fond of dead or dying trees and are often found on utility poles that parallel roads and high­ ways. There is a common tendency to misapply the name "red­ headed woodpecker" to any woodpecker with red on its head; however, the real Red­ headed Woodpeckers are easily recognized by their completely red heads and by the extensive white area in the wings which is quite conspicuous when the bird is either perched or flying. Since the upper part of the tail and lower part of the back are also white and the rest of the tail, wings and back are black, it is impossible to confuse this bird with any other species because the observer will note the bold, contrasting, dark- white-dark pattern, especially when the bird is flying, that no other Illinois bird possesses. When perched, you will note that the bird's underparts are white. The male and female are indistinguishable. Red-headed Woodpeckers are highly migratory in Illinois. During the winter months they disappear from all but the most favorable habitats; however, they do concentrate in large numbers in choice bottomland woods near the Mississippi river-dozens can often be observed a} one time. The mainstay of non-migratory individuals is the presence of an abundant acorn supply ; the birds are occasionally at-> tracted to feeding stations- especially when suet and cracked corn are provided. With the return of spring, the woodpeckers migrate back to their familiar haunts and establish breeding territories. They select a dead tree or rotten stump, sometimes wooden utility poles when trees are not available, for nesting sites. They excavate a hole between 8 inches and 24 inches deep. The bottom of the nesting cavities are lined with fine wooden chips. The eggs, all white in color, number from four to seven with five being most common. The male and female take turns incubating the eggs for about fourteen days and then providing food to the young for nearly four weeks. Once the young leave the nest, the adults teach them quickly to fend for themselves. Red-headed Woodpeckers have a varied diet; they eat many types of insects including large numbers of beetles and other species caught in mid-air as well as berries, fruit, corn, nuts and especially acorns. Because of their "fly-catching" habit, these birds are often killed along highways by fast- moving vehicles. Although a few individuals may have wintered in your area, the majority should just now be arriving and searching for suitable places to carry on their natural biological func­ tions.
