Understanding Savanna Red-Headed Woodpeckers 

Red-headed woodpeckers and the oak savanna habitat that supports them are in serious decline. To forage for insects and acorns and carve out nests, the birds need a combination of trees and open space. Researchers are studying red-headed woodpeckers to inform land managers and the public about what the species needs to survive.
