Paul Bannick is an award-winning author, photographer, and highly sought-after national speaker. His most recent book, Woodpecker: A Year in the Life of North American Woodpeckers, brings together breathtaking photography, compelling video and audio, and the latest science to reveal the extraordinary lives of woodpeckers—one of North America’s most essential bird families, which Bannick calls the “heart of the forest.”
In this spellbinding presentation, Paul explores the often-secret lives of woodpeckers, capturing their charismatic behavior, vibrant displays, and sensitive habitats. Featuring more than 200 never-before-published images, he follows woodpeckers through every season—from courtship and nest selection in spring, to life in the nest during summer, fledgling in autumn, and the challenges of surviving winter. As an ardent conservationist, Paul also highlights the critical habitats woodpeckers depend on and what can be done to protect them.
Paul’s photography appears in numerous popular bird guides and has earned top honors from prestigious competitions, including Audubon Magazine and the International Conservation Photography Awards. He is also the author of two best-selling books: Owl: A Year in the Life of North American Owls, a Gold Medal winner at the 2017 Independent Publisher Book Awards, and The Owl and the Woodpecker: Encounters with North America’s Most Iconic Birds, which inspired traveling photography exhibits at Washington State’s Burke Museum.
