Join us to learn from speaker Paul Bannick about one of the most remarkable bird species found in the avian world: Woodpeckers. 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! Paul Bannick is an accomplished public speaker in addition to being a professional photographer and conservationist. This unique skillset combination has made Paul a sought after keynote speaker for events all over North America. His programs combine breathtaking photos, compelling videos, evocative audio, the science, and first-person stories from the field delivered with passion and an interactive style. Paul has authored six books on Snowy, Northern Hawk, and Great Gray Owls, as well as woodpeckers! His most recent book: Woodpecker: A Year in the life of North American Woodpeckers comes out in September! No registration required!
