Habitat Suitability for Williamson's Sapsuckers in Mixed-conifer Forests

Williamson's sapsuckers (Sphyrapicus thyroidem) have narrow habitat requirements and are sensitive indicators of change in intensively managed forest habitats of western North America.

Nesting success of sapsuckers was high in this h...
