Pileated Woodpeckers inhabit mixed coniferous forests, especially late-successional stands. They use large-diameter trees and snags for nest and roost sites and large-diameter snags and logs for foraging sites.
Limiting factors
Habitat fragmentation and reductions in snag availability due to fire suppression and forest health management adversely affect Pileated Woodpeckers.
Data gaps
Assess trends.
Conservation actions
Maintain and create large-diameter hollow trees, snags, and logs during forest management activities.
