A Year in the Life of North American Woodpeckers
This talk will be based on Paul Bannick's new book, Woodpecker: A Year in the Life of North American Woodpeckers. Paul uses his intimate yet dramatic images, up-to-date science, and first hand narratives to explore the lives of North American woodpeckers through four seasons including; courtship, mating, and nesting in spring; fledging and feeding of young in summer; dispersal and learning independence in fall; and, finally, winter movements and survival. His exploration of these impactful birds and their habitats includes the species from the Arctic through southern Mexico, including those of the Caribbean Islands.
This event is free and open to the public. Reach out to Bridger with any questions about the event.
