Here are a few of the first reviews of "Woodpecker: A year in the life of North American Woodpeckers" :

Paul Bannick’s camera work is so revelatory that Woodpecker is like sight for the blind. Never has this keystone species been portrayed so intimately. His prose explains that the extraordinary hammering that seems like tree vandalism is actually the work of forest doctors, as vital as they are beautiful. A lovely, informative book.

--William Dietrich, author of The Final Forest and Pulitzer Prize winning writer

No other author/photographer has come close to creating a book like this. Bannick’s photos are breathtaking, his prose elegant, his knowledge of woodpeckers encyclopedic. If you love birds, read it. Then keep it handy because it has a second function as a field guide.

--Ted Williams, wildlife writer and former Editor of Audubon Magazine
