Sam D. Hamilton Noxubee Refuge's intensive red-cockaded woodpecker management program is notable and trend-setting. The 1/4-mile Woodpecker Trail goes through an active RCW cluster and offers the visitor an excellent opportunity to view this endangered bird.

Extensive nesting surveys, banding and monitoring were conducted this spring and the information gathered will be posted at this site as soon as it is available.

For more information on the red-cockaded woodpecker try the National RCW Recovery Site.
