BirdNote: Paul Bannick Talks about Owls and Woodpeckers
Aired:
10/21/2008
Photographer and naturalist Paul Bannick, whose photos appear frequently on this website, has spent a lot of time observing woodpeckers and owls, including this Great Horned Owl. Paul notes: “Woodpeckers are called ‘keystone’ species…a species which alters its habitat to the benefit of other species.... the woodpecker drills the cavity that is used by other birds for nests, particularly owls.” You can see more of Paul's photos at PaulBannick.com. Learn more about his book, The Owl and the Woodpecker: Encounters with North America’s Iconic Birds, at MountaineersBooks.
