Hairy Woodpecker
(Picoides villosus)
These nongame birds occur at all elevations. They feed upon borers, caterpillars, and other insects. Preferred nesting areas are mountain forests and valley woodlands. Nests are built in dead trees from May-July. The female will build the nest and then incubate the eggs for 11-12 days. The young will leave the nest after an additional 12-13 days. The population trend of the hairy woodpecker is unknown.
