Foremost Naturalist in the World

Following are two videos that help describe how Roger Tory Peterson became the great Naturalist that he was and how he began to produce the famous Peterson Field Guides.

I will be releasing some more videos soon that will be placed in the birdwatching category. Peterson Field Guides has recently begun producing short videos on YouTube. Birdwatching was advanced greatly because of Roger Tory Peterson.

Roger Tory Peterson had great impact as a writer, artist, educator, and conservationist, becoming a true celebrity and being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

God’s Amazing Pileated Woodpecker

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. (Revelation 4:11 KJV)

This first video is a good introduction to the Pileated Woodpeckers. This was produced by Lauri Shubert of SmellLikeDirt on YouTube.

Pileated Woodpeckers use their beaks to:

  • “drum” on hollow trees to let others know that this is their area
  • tear the bark away from the tree to find insects
  • make up to 16 holes in trees for escape in case a predator enters their tree
  • peck at bark to make sap run

With all this use of the Pileated Woodpecker’s beak, it is more amazing that he doesn’t end up with a headache and what’s so unique about its tongue. Watch the following video.
