586 Hand-Rearing Birds

­ Acknowledgments

Thanks to Dr. Walt Koenig, for allowing me (NB) to research and study Acorn Woodpeckers under
his guidance. We would also like to thank the wildlife rehabilitation centers of northern California
that admit these wonderful birds and go to such great lengths to ensure each one has the best care.
