Abstract:
The woodpecker is the only animal that has the ability to carve out a habitat with its own natural features. The Red-cockaded woodpecker, the Northern flicker, and the pileated woodpecker, just a few of the native species to North Carolina, carve out habitats that can then be used by other species in the area.

On the endangered species list since 1984, the only native stork in America has four nesting colonies in North Carolina in which to replenish its populations, such as the pictured one in Columbus County and described one within a Carolina bay near Lumberton.
