That drumming on the dead limb is a bird built for it, from chisel bill to shock-absorbing skull. Fannie Hardy Eckstorm introduces the woodpeckers of North America: how to know them, how they climb and hammer, and why they matter to the forest. Warm, expert, and inviting. Learn to recognize the carpenters of the woods.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
