Corey is a New Yorker who lived most of his life in upstate New York but has lived in Queens since 2008.

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.
What is it with North American birders and squirrels?!
They are fuzzy and cute, and deserve their fair share of your peanuts for brightening up your cities!!

DO MOCKINGBIRDS MIGRATE?
BurlingtonFreePress is digging deep Corey. I, an American birder, like squirrels and they must sense that because they never attack me.
I’m perfectly happy to share our feeder with the squirrels. In fact, one recently moved into the birdhouse above our deck. Cute as a button!
One harsh winter, a squirrel broke into my apartment. He ripped open the screen on the window by the fire escape and waltzed in. I was pretty scared. Squirrels are not cute when they are running around your home.
