Woodpeckers nest in cavities and their young are altricial (born in an undeveloped state), which means there is not a lot of documented information about their young and how they look at different stages. Harrison, and Nests, Eggs, and Nestlings of North American Birds, 2nd ed. Woodpeckers are a family of focus for Tuttle-Adams.

I was surprised, however, that there is no mention of one of the dark spots in bird feeding history, the highly publicized application of toxic insecticides to Scott’s Miracle-Gro bird seed from 2005 to 2008 and the accompanying falsification of documents to hide it.

Recently it has also been documented as breeding in Wisconsin, Ontario, and the Upper Michigan Peninsula, but those birds are few and not always accessible. A nest wasn’t found until 1903, which set off a craze for Kirtland’s Warbler skins, nests, and eggs. So if you want to see a Kirtland’s Warbler, you go to Michigan in May or June.

Think about it–how do you document the behavior of birds that spend years flying (or swimming) and feeding and, apparently, sleeping above or within the deep sea? Where does the female Emperor Penguin go after she has produced that one egg and handed it over to the male for incubation? Technology to the rescue!

Phillipps’ Field Guide (I’ll be using this shortened form of the title) covers 673 avian species, including 59 endemics, and 53 species that have not been documented yet for the area but which may show up in the next few years. In a perfect world, a birder would have the resources and the luggage room to buy and take both guides.
Expert insights. Personalized for you.
