## Caption

For decades, Oklahoma’s red-cockaded woodpecker population was thought to be limited to an area in McCurtain County.

However, after extensive habitat work, a pair of the federally threatened species was discovered 35 miles away in Le Flore County on the Ouachita National Forest - Oklahoma Ranger District.
