Abstract:

The red-cockaded woodpecker's range is limited to the southeastern states. In North Carolina its highest density is in the Sandhills in the longleaf pine stands. It was officially recognized as an endangered species in 1970. Estimates place the woodpecker's population at around 2,000 in the state.
