In this booming coastal town, it's the tiny red-cockaded woodpecker.
During the past six months, ugly, stump-riddled gashes have appeared throughout the lush longleaf pine stands here as worried landowners clear cut thousands of trees to prevent them becoming homes for the endangered bird.
The chain saws started in February when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service put Boiling Spring Lakes, a state-designated bird sanctuary, on notice that rapid development threatened to squeeze out the woodpecker.

They said more stringent building restrictions, not that they couldn’t build at all.

Wow! I’m at a loss of words with this one. No point of arguing about this because it will go nowhere. This is a sign of what society will be like in the future and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

A town, the first I heard of, which proved we can still build and develop, yet continue to coexist with wildlife, and this happens. That town would have been sooo commendable for supporting an endangered species but instead, they wipe the bird off the planet.
