Hi Folks,
During the late 1970's I was part of a group of people who crawled around 
through some very rugged terrain in the Great Smokey Mountains and other places 
looking for Red-cockaded Woodpeckers.  We found a few birds and some nest 
cavities in the smokies.  I have not kept up with the status of this bird very 
well, although I vaguely rmember reading snippets that seemed to imply that it 
was no longer being observed in Tennessee (notice I did not say it was gone).  
Can anyone clue me in to the current status of this bird in the state and 
particularly what efforts have been made to survey for the birds in the smokies?
