Return of Woody the Woodpecker

Presented by revered naturalist and author John Turner
The Pileated Woodpecker, the largest woodpecker in the northeastern United States and the woodpecker of Woody the Woodpecker fame, was once common on Long Island but disappeared for about a century due to habitat loss and the logging of older deciduous forests. This lecture will provide an overview of this iconic species and focus on recent sightings on Long Island and what these sightings may mean for the species recovery here.
