2020 Lewis's Woodpecker Research Update

Lewis’s Woodpeckers amaze us with their strength and agility.

We collected 12 fecal samples for DNA metabarcoding to identify diet composition.

We mapped the presence of marked individuals at nests near capture sites

Anomaly females BPOA and OOAO have nested on the Pump Slough floodplain for multiple years.

We lack any longevity information on Lewis’ Woodpeckers.
