  • The Red-Cockaded Woodpecker: a Selectively Annotated Bibliography
    UCLA Electronic Green Journal Title The Red-Cockaded Woodpecker: A Selectively Annotated Bibliography Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6013d8ks Journal Electronic Green Journal, 1(8) Author Wishard, Lisa Publication Date 1998 DOI 10.5070/G31810297 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California The Red-Cockaded Woodpecker: A Selectively Annotated Bibliography Lisa A. Wishard The Pennsylvania State University ..................................... I. Introduction The red-cockaded woodpecker was first identified by Louis Jean Pierre Viellot in 1807 as Picoides borealis or northern woodpecker. Viellot wrongly assumed that this southern species ranged into the northern United States and Canada. In the 1880's Alexander Wilson became the first to apply to the species the common name, red-cockaded woodpecker. This gregarious woodpecker once common in the longleaf pine forests of the southeastern United States has been on the endangered species list since October 1970 (under a law that proceeded the Endangered Species Act of 1973). The red-cockaded woodpecker is cardinal-sized, measuring approximately seven inches long with a fifteen-inch wingspan. The males of the species wear a black cap, with a red streak worn like a cockade on either side. This streak is the species rarely visible but distinguishing mark and namesake. Both the male and the female of the species have a distinctive black nape which encircles large white patches on the cheek along with black and white horizontal bars on the back. The young of the species bear the same general colors and patterns of the adults, but young males will have an oval shaped patch of crimson on their crown.

The WCF is part of the lands assembled by Mr. Ferrell, a Civil War veteran and state legislator, in the 1870s. The Legacy Tract is an opportunity to protect more known karst features like those associated with the Wakulla-Leon Sinks Cave System (WLSCS), a globally-significant cave system. Legacy Tract will also contribute to linking the 632,890-acre Apalachicola National Forest to the 6,000-acre Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park and protecting the aquifer for Wakulla Large unnamed karst sink ready for exploration by WLSCS diver Springs, a National Natural Landmark.
