Wildlife biologist Ralph Costa readies to place a red-cockaded woodpecker from its box to place into a man-made nest in a tree in the Picayune Strand State Forest on Nov. 18, 2010. The translocation of six woodpeckers into the Picayune, a condition of the building permit for City Gate development in East Naples, was the last of 30 birds moved to the forest. Twenty-eight of the birds came from Georgia, while the other two were moved from the development. Greg Kahn/Staff
