Peterson Reference Guide To Woodpeckers Of North America - Hardcover
Book 1 of 4: Peterson Reference Guides
Synopsis
A complete guide to the natural history, ecology, and conservation of North America’s 23 woodpecker species.
From the iconic Woody Woodpecker to the ubiquitous Northern Flicker, woodpeckers have long captivated our attention. Their astonishing anatomy makes them one of the most specialized bird families in the world, and their keystone ecological roles in our forests and woodlands makes them some of the most important birds on the continent.
This comprehensive and authoritative guide to the natural history, ecology, and conservation of North America’s 23 woodpecker species goes far beyond identification. It explores their unique anatomy and their fascinating and often comical behaviors; it covers each species’ North American conservation status; and it showcases over 250 stunning photographs of woodpeckers in their natural habitats, plus easy-to-read figures and range maps. This reference guide is an essential addition to every birder's library.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Never sold copy still has nearly immaculate dust jacket. Book itself has two issues. Pages 265-68 were cut somewhat oddly during manufacture, but they are really tucked away inconspicuously. And the dark red boards of the book seem to have been gnawed at a bit by some sort of insect, mostly along the spine. Neither of these issues should detract from use of book in any way. Heavy, so extra freight if going outside US. 298 pp. Seller Inventory # 001789
