Why Don't Woodpeckers Get Headaches?

By Liz Bulkley on Wednesday, March 21, 2007.

Why don't woodpeckers get headaches? It may seem like a silly question, but not too silly for our guest. Mike O'Connor has been answering all kinds of bird-related queries for the past twenty years. He runs the Bird Watcher's General Store on Cape Cod, and he writes a weekly column for a small local paper that tries to get to the bottom of his readers' bird-related mysteries. He'll join us to share some of the most bizarre questions he's been asked, and to talk about who's flying around our New Hampshire skies this time of year. Mike's new book is called – you guessed it -- Why Don't Woodpeckers Get Headaches? And Other Bird Questions You Know You Want to Ask.
