More detailed than a beginner or layman's book, not quite college-textbook level. A happy medium.
Woodpeckers of North America April 24, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Vast amounts of information on the behavior, lifecycle, habitat, conservation outlook, calls and drums, and every other imaginable aspect of North American woodpeckers. Includes Mexican and extinct species. Written in a style suitable for general audiences. Not an identification guide, but the detailed physical descriptions may be of use. Gorgeous photos, but I would have liked more.
A comprehensive woodpeck overview March 18, 2006

A top recommendation is Frances Backhouse's WOODPECKERS OF NORTH AMERICA: college-level collections strong in science and nature as well as general-interest public libraries will want a copy. Chapters provide a comprehensive overview of the anatomy, behavior and ecology of woodpeckers throughout North America, considering common puzzles about their patterns and relationships, describing different behaviors and habitats, and packing in the color photos. Very highly recommended.
