Sure, everyone thinks that Angry Birds is the time-suckingest, productivity-killingest, time wastingest thing out there but nothing beats an actual bird, especially if it is a hawk or an eagle, showing up outside the workplace. Just ask palantir, a diarist at Daily Kos.
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.
You might know about this already, but there’s a regular bird blogger at Daily Kos, who posts under the name lineatus.
A raptor that close screams to be noticed, appreciated, admired and documented. And a tagged one at that. Huh.
Spent the afternoon today along the Detroit river watching the eagles hunt up and down the river for a meal.
Wonderful birds to watch, but can’t get very close to them.
