RCW Nesting Cavity

Copyright © Lewis Scharpf

High up on the trunk of a pine tree, the Red-cockaded woodpecker digs a hole with its sharp beak. Sap flows from the tree and collects around the hole. Because the sap is sticky like glue, it keeps enemies such as snakes and other predators away from the woodpecker's nest.
