Red-cockaded woodpeckers make their nests in cavities they create in mature pine trees. They choose mature trees because older pinewood is often soft, easily excavated, and has a smaller layer of sapwood. Red-cockaded woodpeckers are the only southeastern bird that excavates cavities in living pines.
