*** PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS FRIDAY SPEAKER HAS AN UPDATED DATE AND TIME!! ***

Woodpeckers are one of the most remarkable bird species found in the avian world. They have evolved in ways that make them ecologically critical to forest health, serving as keystone species in a variety of wooded habitats across North America. Their activities support a variety of other creatures, making them catalysts of diversity in the places they inhabit. They are, in many ways, the heartbeat of the forest. Drawing on 15 years of studying and photographing woodpeckers, there is a lot to take in about woodpeckers in their habitat from one season to the next. This talk will cover a full year through the eyes of a woodpecker, full of photos, stories, and natural history information on this amazing group of birds!
