{"product_id":"9781408147160","title":"Woodpeckers of the World: The Complete Guide","description":"Woodpeckers remain one of the most popular families of birds, and they  are certainly one of the more unusual. Their legendary ability to  excavate holes in wood is well known, and they are uniquely adapted for  living in trees - though a few species have become more adapted to  ground-dwelling. The family ranges from the tiny piculets of tropical  forests to the mighty Imperial Woodpecker of Mexico, sadly now extinct.  In between there is a considerable variety of species, all of a roughly  similar shape and design, inhabiting forests and woodlands through the  world except Australasia and Antarctica.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCovering 239 species,  this book is the first definitive photographic guide to woodpeckers.  Detailed text looks in detail at the biology of the birds, with  particular emphasis on field identification, along with voice, habitat,  status, racial variation and distribution. The text is accompanied by a  series of high-quality photographs – more than 750 images, carefully  selected to highlight identification criteria. Each species entry is  completed by an accurate colour range map.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA sister to \u003ci\u003eOwls of  the World\u003c\/i\u003e in the Helm Photographic Guides series, \u003ci\u003eWoodpeckers of  the World\u003c\/i\u003e is an informative, fact-filled and beautifully  illustrated guide to a group beloved by all birders.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121783128304,"sku":"9781408147160","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781408147160_p0.jpg?v=1763718670","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781408147160","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
