Birds Don’t Lay Chicks

Many thanks to Duncan to pointing out this item about a host of House Martins descending on a single house in Malvin, Worcestershire, from the “The Daily Fail.”  The homeowner is quoted, without correction, as saying, “We think the mothers laid the chicks in our guttering which is very high and the other birds came to look after them.”

Corey is a New Yorker who lived most of his life in upstate New York but has lived in Queens since 2008. He's only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list by birding whenever he wasn't working as a union representative or spending time with his family. He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy, their son, Desmond Shearwater, and their indoor cat, B.B. His bird photographs have appeared on the Today Show, in Birding, Living Bird Magazine, Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other fine publications. He is also the author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of New York.
