General Notes
The population
of Pileated Woodpecker appears to be increasing significantly, according
to a recent analysis of Christmas Bird Count and Breeding Bird Survey
records conducted by National Audubon Society scientists. It is possible
that the North American population has increased by over 1000% in the last
40 years. There is sufficient data about this species to have a high level
of statistical confidence in this magnitude of growth.
