RED-COCKADED WOODPECKER FORAGING HABITAT REQUIREMENTS ON INDUSTRIAL FORESTS IN SOUTHERN ARKANSAS AND NORTHERN LOUISIANA
 

Project Cooperators:

RCW The objective of this study was to investigate RCW foraging habitat requirements on industrial forestlands which occur beyond the historic range of longleaf pine.  Specifically, this objective included the investigation of:

1) tree utilization and availability,

2) annual and seasonal home range size, and

3) forest stand utilization and availability.
