Abstract
The tenacious behavior of Red-cockaded Woodpeckers (Picoides borealis) towards their cavity trees is well documented. A nestling Red-cockade d Woodpecker was observed to survive the felling of its cavity tree. T he nestling subsequently fledged from the downed cavity. This observat ion suggests some Red-cockaded Woodpeckers will continue nesting effor ts after a severe disturbance.
