Pileated Woodpecker Habitat A species's habitat is predictable because it has traditionally provided food, nest sites, defendable territories, and conditions conducive to attracting mates. Through our efforts to find birds, we learn about their habitats; we learn that both quality and quantity are important. Pileated Woodpeckers, for example, may require 200 acres of mature forest. |
| When the Pileated Woodpecker is not hammering at a post or a tree, it may be found in a mixed woodland, where fallen logs provide abundant carpenter ants as food. | |
