 Birthing/Egg Laying Site: Cavity in live tree
Living trees with decay contain amounts of decayed wood that allow them to function as snags. Dead tops, large dead branches, broken tops, and wounded areas provided useful wildlife habitat. Reference: Bull, Evelyn L. C.G. Parks, and T.R. Torgersen. May, 1997. Trees and Logs Important to Wildlife in the Interior Columbia River Basin. USDA USFS. Pacific NW Research Station.Birthing/Egg Laying Site: Live trees with decay
 Birthing/Egg Laying Site: Snag
Hollow trees are trees that have decay in the heartwood so advanced that it leaves a hollow core. Large diameter trees form hollow chambers most useful to wildlife. Hollow trees are known to be used by: Northern Flickers, Black bears, bats, American Martens, Busy-tailed Woodrats, and other small mammals as dens, roosts, nests, forage sites, and shelter.
