Woodpeckers of the World due in 2014

After many years of research and writing, my new book WOODPECKERS OF THE WORLD: A Photographic Guide will be published next summer. I am currently sorting through 100s of wonderful colour images of the world's picids and writing their captions. Here is a draft of the cover, which may not be final, but at least illustrates what is in store !
