Red-cockaded woodpeckers live in pine forests of the Southern states.
Red-cockaded Woodpecker is an endangered species that are mostly found living in mature pine forests from Florida to Virginia and west to southeast Oklahoma and eastern Texas. For nesting, red-cockaded woodpeckers use old-growth trees of most southern pine species, except for sand pine, spruce pine, white pine, and table-mountain pine. The older pines are favoured by the red-cockaded woodpecker with a fungus called red heart disease which attacks the center of the trunk, causing the inner wood to become soft. Cavities generally take 1 to 3 years to excavate which the red-cockaded adore because they are perfect for nests and for eggs to nest in and hatch. The red-cockaded woodpecker is probably one of the most well-known endangered species in North Carolina. They are found only in the south eastern United States and usually live in threes that are 30 years or older and even more mature trees for nesting. They are really social animals.

birds represent spirit messengers. If the bird is in your house trying to get out and dies, it means death is coming around. On your porch means close to you, but not you. Or a dead bird on your porchm means that your windows are too clean and the bird died when it flew into the invisible wall. that can mean even more ..- stonalone
Woodpeckers bash their heads against wood about 20 pecks every second, so you'd think they'd need heads made of steel to survive. Instead, the reality is that woodpecker heads are relatively soft. Each bird is born with a soft, sponge-like mass behind its beak that absorbs the shock created by pecking.
A woodpeckers tongue is about 4 to 5 inch long, depending on which woodpecker are you finding on.
Woodpeckers use sawdust or woodchips within their nests, as it provides them with protection. but if you place to much sawdust or too thick of ieces of woodchips in a woodpeckers house, if any nest in it, the fledgings are going to find it hard to breathe. many people belive that the drumming of a woodpecker, is to create their houses, but it is a way of communication. to incourage woodpeckers to nest, leave a woodpecker nest with woodchips about 1 inch thick. hope this helps! :) :) :)
