Cavity-Nester Habitat; Artificial Douglas-Fir Snags

Purpose

Standing dead trees, or snags, are a source of foraging habitat and nesting cavities for wildlife. We evaluated the efficacy of creating Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) snags (by girdling, silvicide treatment, and topping) and their influence on deter

Creating Topped Snags with Herbicides

Purpose

To determine if trees topped with a herbicide will be used by cavity-nesting birds. Each tree will be treated and revisited annually to determine treatment effectiveness.

Artificial Inoculation of Decay Fungi into Douglas-fir with Rifle and Shotgun to Produce Wildlife Trees in Western Oregon

Purpose

To evaluate the effectiveness of innoculating primarily Douglas-fir trees with rifles and shotguns. Effectiveness will be measured by the incidence of foraging and cavity formation by birds and by the presence of wood decay as indicated by fungal conks. T
