Home sweet home • Live from Virginia to Florida to a little amount of Texas • Live in southern old trees • In North Carolina red cocked woodpeckers live by the piedmont and coastal plain regions
meals • Large diet range • Peck trees to get their food • Eat beetles, ants, roaches, spiders, and other things • They poke trees to get their food
Nesting trees Red Cocked woodpeckers only nest in live pines. Thier selection is often is infected with red heart fungus.
Endanger causes The Red cocked woodpeckers habitat decreased 99 percent since eropean settlement
HELP!!! What we can do to help the red cocked woodpecker is to not cut down so many trees. We can cut down some trees but leave some for the woodpeckers
Why should I care • Eat misqitos that bite us • We would have less misquitos if we had more woodpeckers
