The North Carolina Division of Parks and Recreation has declared 2010 “The Year of the Bird,” which is “a statewide effort to educate the public on the importance of birds and protecting their habitat.” More in the Asheville Citizen-Times.
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.
In North Carolina?!
Oh dear, the SUV mafia will surely interpret this as “a statewide effort to educate the public that piping plover tastes like chicken.”
Well, I wish the outer banks birders good luck this year!
Um, you’re welcome?
