Join local birding expert Steve Shunk for a new slide show of the most beloved backyard birds in Central Oregon. Shunk is a hopeless woodpecker fanatic based in Central Oregon’s Woodpecker Wonderland, where 11 woodpecker species breed each year (half the extant woodpeckers in North America). Shunk is the author of the Peterson Reference Guide to Woodpeckers of North America. Shunk lives in Bend, but he spends much of the year traveling and writing as a contributing editor for the Nature Travel Network.
