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 and Desmond Shearwater. 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.
Hard to think of a yard bird than tops that one!
Hmmm. Even within its range in Europe this is a good bird to see (not rare but always nice & unusual). Quite nice for a North American yard, indeed!
yes, and the questions are: will it stay until the weekend? and how many people do I have to have in my car to satisfy the disdain of the environmental police?
I think it is great that this bird was seen and photographed. I also think conservation is a serious issue.
This weekend, bah. Can someone ask it to stick around until August?
