It's been awhile ago, but come to think of it, the habitat in general where we found at least one bird and a nest cavity back in the late 70's wasn't particularly good even then. There were plenty of nice, big old pines in the area (I guess it was around Skunk Ridge...also the name Tabcat Creek comes to mind?) but the understory was pretty thick.
