dc.description.abstract	A comparative study of five woodpecker species was conducted on a four hectare riparian woodland in Lyon County, Kansas, during the winter of 1980-81. Six major comparisons were made. Differences among woodpeckers in this study were found to be most affected by the vegetation available and the physical factors. Four other comparisons: vertical distribution, DBH measurements, interspecific associations, and movement activities indicated different trends among woodpeckers in their winter behaviors and ranges. These differences among the five species in their winter niche dimensions allowed a successful coexistence.	en_US
