We provisioned 10 vacant sites (sites lacking cavity tree clusters and red-cockadeds) and 10 abandoned sites (sites with existing clusters no longer occupied by red-cockadeds) in the Sandhills region of North Carolina with cavities and cavity starts we constructed in 1988 and 1989. By July 1989, 18 of 20 experimental sites had been occupied, resulting in the net addition of 12 soocial groups to the population. No control sites were occupied. Occupation of previously vacant areas and rapid increases in the number of social units in a population are rare events in this and other populations in the absence of cavity provisioning}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT}, author={COPEYON, CK and WALTERS, JR and CARTER, JH}, year={1991}, month={Oct}, pages={549–556} }
