No, I haven’t sold my soul to Rupert Murdoch but I was quoted a couple of times in a New York Post article about birding in New York City. Today, the New York Post, tomorrow, the world!
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.
Excellent!
34?!
@Corey: you can’t hide your upstate roots. “Today, the New York Post, tomorrow, the world!” ?? To true New Yorkers, NYC IS the world.
@redgannet: judging by recent pictures of Corey, it’s either a typo for 43 or Desi isn’t as quiet and peaceful as he seems. 😉 🙂
@Rick: Thanks!
@Redgannet: I know, I know, I’m practically over-the-hill. 🙂
@Jochen: You be quiet! I’m 28 if I’m a day!
By the way, I saw the print version of the article and it included a Northern Bobwhite labeled as a Ring-necked Pheasant and a Hairy Woodpecker listed as Very Rare (though, in the paper’s defense, Hairy Woodpeckers are pretty rare at Jamaica Bay which I believe is the point that they were trying to make).
