Stephen Shunk’s early birding resume includes time with the Bay Area’s Youth Science Institute, the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory, and the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society. After moving to the Oregon Cascades, he became immersed in woodpeckers, ultimately writing the Peterson Reference Guide to Woodpeckers of North America. Steve now lives on Mexico’s Pacific Slope, where he communes with golden-cheeked woodpeckers at the 80-hectare Rancho Primavera guest ranch and bird sanctuary.
