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.
