		The birds showed no decided preference for any one species of tree; three nests each were found in maples and apple trees, two each in chestnuts and poplars, and one each in a dead oak and a dead beech.
		The bird throws itself backward from its vertical position by a leg spring, together with a tail movement, turns in the air in the fraction of a second and is sweeping away to the next perch.
		Like all woodpeckers, the hairy is an expert climber, perfectly at home on the trunk of a tree, or even on the under side of a branch, where its strong claws enable it to cling in almost any position or to move about with astonishing rapidity and skill in any direction.

	Hairy Woodpecker
		The Hairy Woodpecker, P. villosus, is a constant resident in our maritime and inland districts, from the Texas, where I have found it numerous, to the State of New Hampshire, as well as in all sufficiently wooded tracts intervening between the junction of the Missouri and Mississippi, and the northern borders of our great lakes.
		Lively, noisy, and careless of man, the Hairy Woodpecker is found at all seasons in the orchards, among the trees of our cities, along the borders of plantations, on the fences, or on the trees left in the fields, as well as in the densest parts of the forests.
		At this season, its visits to the corn-cribs are extremely frequent; and curious indeed do the shrill notes of this lively and industrious bird sound in the ear of the person who chances to surprise it within the crib, from which it makes off, passing swiftly perhaps within a foot or so of his hand.

	SDNHM Focus on the Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers
		The Hairy is almost a third again larger than the Downy in wing length, and its bill is nearly twice as long as the Downy's.
		The difference from white is difficult to appreciate in spring and summer when the birds are in worn plumage and more or less stained from months of contact with trees, but it can be seen in a good view in fall and winter when the birds are clean and fresh.
		Unlike the Hairy, primarily a mountain species, the Downy is basically a species of lowland riparian woodland, especially of willow trees.

		The Hairy Woodpecker inhabits pine forests, oak hammocks, and river bottomlands and is rarely found in residential areas.
		The Atlas map shows that Hairy Woodpeckers are scattered rather uniformly across the state, except for the southeastern peninsula and the Keys.

		Never present in large numbers, hairy woodpeckers live surrounded by trees in both coniferous and deciduous forests, urban parks and open areas with trees.

		Beyond larvae, the hairy woodpecker eats other insects and worms as well as fruit, seeds, beechnuts, acorns and corn.

		Hairy manzanita arctostaphylos columbiana is best propagated from stem cuttings, but it can be grown from seed if one is diligent and careful.

		For either bird the sexes are alike, except that the males have a bright red spot on the back of their heads.
