Program Night - The Owl and The Woodpecker: Encounters with North America's Most Iconic Birds

Join award-winning photographer Paul Bannick Thursday, April 23 for a visual journey of 11 key North American habitats through the needs of specific owl and woodpecker species.  This stunning photographic study will be accompanied by field stories and rich natural history derived from thousands of hours in the field. His talk will look at the way owls and woodpeckers define and enrich their habitat and how their life-histories are intertwined.
