This morning a plane taking off from LaGuardia Airport in New York City hit a bird, which caused engine failure. The plane landed safely and no one was hurt. This is after two years of geese killings in New York City, ostensibly to thin the flocks and protect civilian aviation. Anyone want to bet that they double down and start killing more geese?
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.
