Pygmy Nuthatch
Occurred the most disproportionately in hexagons with more than 23% ponderosa pine forest and minor variation in elevation. Likely to occur in hexagons with any amount of ponderosa pine forest if May minimum temperature (hex. max.) is -1 to 3� C, especially if July maximum temperature (hex. med.) is 24-29� C. Occurred in hexagons with warmer May minimum temperature (hex. max.) where more than 1% canyon grassland and shrubland is present. If ponderosa pine forest is absent, it may still occur in other suitable habitat if April minimum temperature (hex. avg.) is -5.68 to -3.10� C. The logistic regression analysis showed positive or negative association with ponderosa pine forest, road density, elevation (hex. avg.), number of land cover types, June minimum temperature (hex. avg.), June precipitation (hex. med.), July minimum temperature (hex. min.), and-to a lesser degree- topographic variation and the extent of public land,
