03:10presence of food, every note carries meaning.
03:21The Red Coat Caddwood Packer is no ordinary bird.
03:47Unlike most of its cousins that drill into dead trees, this rare species chooses the challenge
03:57of carving its home into living pine trunks, a task that can take years of effort.
04:03Perfect.

04:25You can move on to the next level of the dog.
04:31I'll see you next time.
05:01The sound of their gentle tapping and their calls together create a rhythm
05:31that defines the souls of the southern pine forest.
05:35When the morning sun filters through the tall pines and the air fills with the fresh scent of resin,
05:42their call blends into nature's grand symphony, subtle, ancient, and irreplaceable.
05:50Hearing the call of the red coke cadet woodpecker is like listening to the heartbeat of forest
05:56that has stood for centuries.
05:58It's a reminder for resilience of family bonds and of the delicate beauty of wild places
06:06that still whisper their stories to those willing to listen.
06:12The red coke cadet woodpecker is a small woodpecker found only in the southeastern United States.
06:19It is listed as a threatened species under the United States Endangered Species Act.
06:25This bird is medium-sized, measuring only 18 to 23 cm long and weighing around 40 to 55 grams.
06:34It has a black and white barret back, large white cheek patches, and a black cap and a nap.
06:40Males have a tiny red streak called a coke cadet on each side of the head, visible only at times.
06:48The species is considered near-threatened globally and threatened in the United States.
06:54The red coke cadet woodpecker mainly eats ants, beetles, caterpillars, cockroaches, spiders, and sometimes fruits or berries.
07:02It prefers to forges on large pine trees but may also feed on hardwoods or crops like corn.
07:10These birds are territorial and non-migratory, living in family groups that work together to raise youngs.
07:17Breeding takes place from April to June and females lay 3 to 4 eggs in a tree cavity.
07:23Eggs hatch after about 10 to 13 days and a young bird leaves the nest in about 26 to 29 days.
07:31The family group usually includes a breeding pair and several helpers, often young males from previous seasons, who assist in raising the chicks.
07:41Female juveniles usually leave the group to join other males.
07:45Predator includes red snakes, corn snakes, and sometimes flying squirrels, which may compete for the nest cavities.
07:54In the past, this fishie lived across the southeastern United States from Florida to New Jersey.
08:00Today, only about 12,000 individual remains, roughly 1% of their original population.
08:07They are now extinct in many states.
08:11The red coke cadet woodpecker lives in fire-maintained pine forests, especially long-lived pine habitats.
08:17Unlike other woodpeckers, it drills its nesting cavities in living pine trees, often those infected with red hard prot, which soften the wood inside.
08:27Each family group uses a cluster of 1 to 20 trees over 3 to 60 acres, and their total territory may cover 125 to 200 acres.
08:38The birds keep tree sap flowing near their nest holes to help deter predators like snakes.
08:45So, once common across the south, the red coke cadet woodpecker now survives in small protected areas.
08:52A rare reminder of the ancient pine forests that once banked the region.
