No other author/photographer has come close to creating a book like this. Bannick's photos are breathtaking, his prose elegant, his knowledge of woodpeckers encyclopedic. If you love birds, read it. Then keep it handy because it has a second function as a field guide.--Ted Williams ""wildlife writer"" Paul Bannick's camera work is so revelatory that Woodpecker is like sight for the blind. Never has this keystone species been portrayed so intimately. His prose explains that the extraordinary hammering that seems like tree vandalism is actually the work of forest doctors, as vital as they are beautiful. A lovely, informative book.--William Dietrich ""Author of The Final Forest"" Paul Bannick's work captures more than just the beauty of the natural world--it captures its soul. I had the privilege of collaborating with Paul on his 2008 book The Owl and the Woodpecker, providing the accompanying sounds. Since then, he's become one of the world's foremost wildlife photographers, and his new book A Year in the Life of North American Woodpeckers is yet another masterpiece. His imagery doesn't just show us birds--it connects us to them. Truly remarkable.--Martyn Stewart ""Co-Founder of The Listening Planet""
