People Racing Nature in New Orleans
Duncan let me know about this fascinating article from The New York Times Magazine about the changing ecology – and population – of the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans which was, of course, devastated by Hurricane Katrina seven years ago. The bird connection? Just read through to the end.
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.

Rwally interesting article, but I wonder what an “open-ground woodpecker” is. Flicker, maybe?
