The primary objectives of this study were to estimate the current potential BTPI nesting habitat within the White Mountain region of Arizona. This project addressed the following specific objectives:

1) Describe habitat conditions selected by nesting BTPI in northern Arizona;

2) Use measured nest stand characteristics to model BTPI nesting habitat within northern Arizona using the Forest Ecosystem Restoration Analysis (ForestERA) cumulative modeling package, and;

3) Develop forest management guidelines for BTPI nesting habitat for the coniferous forests of northern Arizona.
