Lonely Sandy Rides a Helicopter
Read the heart-warming tale of a young Pied Shag, a caring family, a helicopter ride, and a bird rescue facility.
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.

Hurrrrrrray for New Zealand!
Yes I know, this one individual matters little in the grand scheme of population dynamics and nature conservation, the pied shag is widespread and the money had better been spent on, say, the Kakapo or the descendants of Old Blue.
But it just goes to show how much the Kiwis care about their wildlife! It was in New Zealand that I was at a party, talked about birding and women actually considered that attractive! ONLY in New Zealand!! 🙂
