A Stillness in the Pines by Robert W Mcfarlane
What distinguishes this bird from others is its unique niche. Its adaptations make it totally dependent on pine trees in an open forest. This ecosystem--that of the loblolly pine tree forest--is the bird's onlly habitat. But these southeastern pine trees are valuable natural resources. Having withstood the ravages of nature for thousands of years, it is now entirely possible that the woodpecker will be lost because of a combination of benign neglect and commercial interests
McFarlane, Robert W.: - For over fifteen years the ornithologist Robert W. McFarlane has been involved--as researcher, expert witness, negotiator, and advocate--in the struggle to save the red-cockaded woodpecker. In this book he explains what is at stake.
