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.
Such a shame. I hope the poachers are punished rather that given a slap on the wrist.
It would be interesting (but impossible) to know how many are shot in total this winter; I suspect that the number is high.
So very sad. What is it with the HUMAN race? It contains the HUMANE! Pushing our own selves to extinction.
