Woodpecker Wham!

Swoop and land. Hitch and hop. Shred a tree stump.

Chop, chip, chop! Enter woodpecker world and get a bird's eye view of everyday life hiding from hawks, feeding hungry chicks, and drilling holes to build homes. Woodpeckers are nature's home builders, creating holes that many other animals live in when the woopeckers move on.

A variety of woodpecker species fly through these pages-perhaps some that live near you!
