Red-cockaded Woodpecker Range Map
The endangered Red-cockaded Woodpecker is a year-round resident locally from eastern Oklahoma, southern Missouri, northern Arkansas, northern Mississippi, northern Alabama, northern Georgia, southeastern Virginia and southern Maryland south to eastern Texas, the Gulf Coast and southern Florida and north in the Cumberland plateau through eastern Tennessee to Kentucky. The Red-cockaded Woodpecker is endemic to the yellow pine forests of the southeastern United States, where hardwoods make up less than 35 percent of the tree stand. It generally inhabits mature forests (at least 60 years old) or younger forests where groups of mature trees are present. It is found in forests dominated by several species of pine, but probably the largest populations are found where longleaf pine is prevalent.
