Abstract:
In areas hit hard by storms, including Hurricane Hugo, the population of red-cockaded woodpeckers has declined. This is because the storms wreaked havoc on live, old trees, which the woodpeckers need to build their nest cavities. Now a simple nesting device developed by North Carolina Wildlife Commission non-game biologist David Allen is helping the population recover.

Abstract:
Barbara Lee parks outside the Uwharrie National Forest in Montgomery County after dinner each night, preparing to spend the night in her car. She is looking for nesting holes of the endangered Red-cockaded Woodpeckers. Last year, Lee covered 8,000 of the 40,000 acres of the forest, but rarely sees any of the birds. In a time when clear-cutting of forests is prevalent, it is illegal to cut down nesting trees of these endangered birds. Lee urges property-owners with short-leaf pines to keep an eye out for the birds and to not cut down their trees.

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.
