Scott Whittle of Year of the Bird is oh-so-close to breaking the New York State Big Year record. So far as I know, the best Big Year ever claimed in the state is 343 species and Scott is already at 340 (the vast majority of which he has photographed or recorded). Good luck, Scott, and may you get 350 or more!
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.
