Secretary of the Department of Agriculture and Chief of the United States Forest Service Dear Secretary Vilsack and Mr. Tidwell: . I am writing on behalf of our client, Save Rodman Reservoir, Inc. Based in Putnam County, Save Rodman Reservoir has been active for over 30 years in promoting the Rodman Reservoir as an important environmental and recreational resource for north central Florida. Among other functions, shallow water bodies remove nutrients, superior to flowing streams. Urbanization and other manmade changes to the Ocklawaha basin have contributed to increased nutrient concentrations in the river, and increased concern for excessive nutrient loading in the St. Johns River system downstream. Flows from Lake Apopka upstream have been managed through an upstream dam and a chemical treatment system to attempt to reduce nutrient flows downstream. To counter increased nutrient concentrations in the St. Johns River, the State of Florida has worked in recent decades to create tens of thousands of acres of shallow water reservoirs in areas feeding the St.

  • 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.
