Total volume of woody material remaininq in harvested units is compared with woodpecker feeding time in figure 7. A1 though a substantial amount of woody material , particularly logs L 6 in (15 cm) diameter, remained in both lower and higher clear- cuts, very little feeding activity was observed. Wood-fiber utilization intensity had no apparent influence on woodpecker feeding time in the clearcut portions of the group selection units or in the clearcut units (table 7). There were however, major differences in the shelterwood subtreatments.

There was no apparent relationship between feeding time and number of trees per acre (fig. 8). Comparison of feeding time with volume of woody material 2 3 in (7.6 cm) diameter indicates "near complete1' removal" intensity in the lower unit may be associated with a major reduction in woodpecker feeding opportunities (fig. 9). That association is not as clear in the higher unit. Several components make up the overall wood volume measurements and these were compared with woodpecker feeding time in an attempt to determine which component most directly influences feeding opportunities. Amount of woody material 5 3 in (7.6 cm) diameter is plotted with feeding time in figure 10. The results are similar to the comparison in figure 9 (material 2 3 in (7.6 cm) diameter), with a definite drop in woody material and feeding activity in the "near complete'' 1 ower unit treatment. Because more woodpecker feeding (a1 1 woodpecker species combined) occurred on logs larger than 6 in (1 5 cm) diameter, a comparison of that component of remaining wood fiber and woodpecker feeding time would be expected to show show a strong relationship (fig. 11). In both units the highest level of feeding took place where the greatest volume of material was available. When feeding time and woody material volume for both shelterwood units were averaged, the negative influence of the "near complete1' utilization treatment was indicated (fig, 12).
