Abstract

Twelve pairs of Red-cockaded Woodpeckers were translocated to the Angelina National Forest from October to December 1998. Five breeding pairs produced eggs or nestlings in the first breeding season, but clutch initiation was delayed. Causes may include unfamiliar habitat, lack of experience, delayed bonding, or age-related factors.
