Woodpeckers and Their Surprising Adaptations
Cranbrook Institute naturalist Walter P. Nickell explains woodpeckers use shock absorbing cartilage between beak and skull and a retractable tongue to extract food.

Uranium Prospect Fever in Western Upper Peninsula
U S Atomic Energy Commission suboffice reports daily inquiries from uranium prospectors in western upper Michigan counties. Prospecting fever could disrupt the quiet northland if it continues, but geologists say no commercial uranium deposits have been found to date. The yellow bellied sapsucker is noted as a noisy, sap-drinking bird affecting trees, though most woodpeckers are protected by law.
