Robert Mortensen got some great shots of my favorite bird, the Green Heron. Go check them out!
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.
Thanks for sharing the link Corey! The most disturbing thing about that whole experience with that Green Heron was that when I was laying there in the dirt, mud, and weeds just feet away from such an awesome bird, I actually thought “Corey Finger would be lovin’ this.” Scary huh?
Well done Robert. I’ve found Green Heron’s to be pretty darn elusive.
