During December 1988-June 1989, in a small forest burn area composed mainly of White Pine (Pinus strobus), male Hairy Woodpeckers (Picoides villosus) tended to forage on smaller diameters and at greater heights than male Black-backed Woodpeckers (P. arcticus). Males of both species still overlapped greatly in their foraging heights and diameters. In all (n=22) interspecific contacts, Black-backed Woodpeckers stopped foraging and moved to a more distant tree when Hairy Woodpeckers approached within 10 m.©Association of Field Ornithologists 1993.
