Table 1 Density of red-headed woodpecker nests km−2 in a recent burn compared to older burn sites in the Black Hills, South Dakota. Numbers in parentheses represent the number of nests. We monitored an additional nest in the Jasper Fire study sites in 2004, but were unable to conduct a full survey of the entire study site. Therefore, density information in the Jasper Fire is based only on years 2001–2003.
