Though this post is specifically written for an American audience because it is election day in the United States, it applies to everyone. Birders need to vote and let everyone know it!
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.
Come on, USA, you know what to do…
Sadly, it seems that for a good chunk of the country that means voting for crazy people.
You betcha.
Hi Corey, if you live in a democracy, then yes vote for birds! Check every candidate’s environmental credentials!
There are people out there giving Loons a bad name.
@Will: I remember someone remarking that, you know, some northern politician couldn’t be loonier if they grew wings and ate raw fish…
