Twelve More Birds for Christmas

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.

4 calling Clay-colored Thrushes.
5 Golden-browed Chlorophonias!
6 Black-bellied Whistling Ducks a laying (sorry, no geese here).
7 Muscovy Ducks a swimming (no swans either).

9 Manakins dancing.
10 Blue-black Grasquits leaping.
11 Stripe-breasted Wrens giving their “piping” vocalizations.
12 Antpittas drumming (no drummer birds here but antpittas are cool so they get to be drummers).
