Describes the physical characteristics, life cycle, and behaviors of many species of woodpeckers found throughout the world; also discusses some of the threats to their ...
The "tap-tap-tapping" of a woodpecker in the forest can be a startling yet pleasing experience as anyone who has journeyed into the woods and heard these airborne insectivores drumming away on a tree can attest. Woodpeckers, like so many of our animal relations, face increasing pressure from people. Human devastation of forests and environmental pollution have decimated the population of several woodpecker species. However, in some cases such as the Pilated Woodpecker, a cessation of lumbering activity in their habitat has allowed the species to rebound. The life cycle and activities of woodpeckers are the focus of this well-crafted nature study. The hunting, mating, parenting, and daily behavior patterns of numerous woodpeckers are chronicled by a writer who has an obvious love for and knowledge about these unique birds. The story is told in an informative and entertaining manner in a copiously illustrated text that includes numerous color photos of woodpeckers in the wild. Readers with an interest in woodland studies, birds, animal behavior, or environmental issues will enjoy and learn from this book. 2001, Carolrhoda Books, Ages 8 to 14, $23.93. Reviewer: Greg M.
