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.

And then there’s Alger Hiss and the Prothonotary, of course.
Rick, I totally expect your next beat blogger post to be titled “Alger Hiss and the Prothonotary”.
The tale of how the Prothonotary Warbler became involved in politics is one of my favorite bird-related stories!
