Habitat assessed for the hairy woodpecker and northern flicker is associated with both green stands and post fire habitats. Approximately 14,366 acres of hairy woodpecker habitat and 12,515 acres of northern flicker habitat occur within the Watersheds. Across the Deschutes National Forest, approximately 219,575 acres of hairy woodpecker habitat and approximately 219,576 acres of northern flicker habitat occurs (See Table 19). Table 19.
