Conservation actions needed
Modify clear-cut logging practices to create more profitable hunting habitats - optimal conditions result from a mix of old forest and variably sized clear-cuts <100ha (Duncan & Harris 1997; Duncan & Duncan 2020). Nest boxes may be useful for mitigating local loss of nest sites (Duncan & Duncan 2020).
