You may recognize the familiar tap-tap-tap echoing through your woods, but who are the striking red-capped and red-creasted birds behind all that activity? Discover what makes these remarkable forest residents so captivating—how they live, communicate, and carve out their place in the ecosystem—while also learning why their noisy (and sometimes destructive) excavations happen in the first place.

Join Oregon Women Owning Woodlands for a 90-minute indoor presentation about woodpeckers with naturalist Marilyn Ellis, followed by an optional bird walk through the woods of Hopkins.
