David et al:

Rot appears to be a choice among Pileated oopdpeckers, as indicated in snip=
pets from "The Birsds of N. Am". on-in.

[In the east] "The majority of nest trees were dead (Table 3), and most of =
the nest trees fell over, broke apart, or were cracked by the following yea=
r and were unsuitable for nesting again . . ."

And:  "In Montana, roost trees contained more entrance holes and had a high=
er basal area in surrounding forest than at nest trees (McClelland and McCl=
elland 1999). In Arkansas, nests were in decayed dead trees that typically =
were not suitable for nesting a second year; roosts were primarily in large=
r, taller, live trees with multiple cavities . . ."

The second snippet is interesting. Does anyone know about the making and us=
e of roost cavities here?


Cheers, Ian
